[Asymmetry in the symmetric structure of the genetic code].
The genetic code is characterized by hidden symmetry. Amino acids possessing common antiamino acids are located symmetrically in the graphic models of the code. There is only one exception--apolar amino acids V, M, I, L and F are asymmetrically arranged. Asymmetric disposition of these amino acids is apparently due to divergence in the course of structural evolution of amino acid families as a result of inclusion of new members into the coding system.
