There are 64 codons of DNA made up from the letters T G A C ...... three letter codons from four choices is 4 x 4 x 4 = 64. So we are making up three letter codons for example GGG but this time we are making them from four cubes of six sides.
The first cube is all Yellow GGG on the face and all Blue CCC on the rear side of the cube, if you turn it around you can create from it the following DNA Codons.....
GGG...CCC...GGC...CCG...GCC...CGG...CGC...GCG... 8 codons in all
The second cube is all Green AAA on the face and all Orange TTT on the rear side of the cube, if you turn it around you can create from it the following DNA Codons...
AAA...TTT...ATA...TAT...AAT...TTA...TAA...ATT... 8 codons in all
The third cube is AGG Green to the front, yellow to the top and yellow to the right hand side and the rear of the cube is TCC Orange, Blue and Blue.... you can create the following DNA codons from it.......
TCC...AGG...ACC...TGG...CCT...GGA...AGC...TCG...CCA...GGT...CAG...GTC...CGT...GCA...
GCT...CGA...GTG...CAC...CTC...GAG...TGC...ACG...GAC...CTG... 24 codons in all
The fourth cube is GTT Yellow to the front, Orange to the top and Orange to the right hand side and
the rear of the cube is CAA Blue, Green and Green.........you can create the following DNA codons
from it...
GTT...CAA...AGA...TCT...TCA...AGT...GTA...CAT...TAG...ATC...AAG...TTC...ACA...TGT... CTA...GAT...TGA...ACT...GAA...CTT...AAC...TTG...24 codons in all
8 + 8 + 24 + 24 = 64 codons
So from four six sided cubes we can create all 64 codons of DNA just by rotating the cube and showing a different face...all codes read from left hand face to the top to the right hand side in a
clockwise direction.
The literal building blocks of life...................x
Face view of four cubes...
Rear view of the same four cubes....
We are used to seeing the four squares of C T G A in this windows style pattern but make them 3D and they are cubes with so much more to offer. x
So each of the 64 codons is also a Nine Star Ki number, an I Ching Hexagram number, a DNA Codon, a musical note, a direction, an amino acid and so on and so forth.............so much more than a mere Hexagram of The I Ching..........once you see the patterns in the I Ching is becomes a religion of sorts, certainly a puzzle that will last you all of your life. No sooner do I think there can be no more patterns hidden in here than another one pops up...........constant entertainment....enjoy x
