title: Neural network in the transcription-translation process.
abstract: The transcription-translation process is represented by a virtual neural network. The input unit corresponds to the transcription process, the hidden unit to the mRNA-ribosome-tRNA interaction and the output unit to the final state of the protein. A correlation was found between the natural amino acid frequency and the degree of codon degeneracy and an inverse correlation between the code degeneracy and the number of amino acid substitutions in the protein.
