Study Offers Insight into Origin of Genetic Code
CHAMPAIGN, IL An analysis of enzymes that load amino acids onto transfer RNAs an operation at the heart of protein translation offers new insights into the evolutionary origins of the modern genetic code, researchers report. Their findings appear in the journal PLOS ONE.
Thus, genetics is associated with protein flexibility, he said.
"Our study offers an explanation for why there is a genetic code," Caetano-Anollés said. Genetics allowed proteins "to become flexible, thereby gaining a world of new molecular functions."

Wow, these scientists. So amazing. How do they figure this stuff out? I also read the existence of a new element was confirmed.
