The Structure of Nucleic Acids in Higher Dimensional Space

Abstract

The types of interaction of nucleic acids are considered, taking into account the higher dimension of the geometric elements that make up nucleic acids. Lists canonical and non-canonical nitrogenous bases that can participate in the creation of a hydrogen bond of nitrogenous bases found in different single-stranded nucleic acids, forming double-stranded nucleic acids. Pairs of non-canonical nitrogenous bases can significantly violate the unique correspondence of nitrogenous bases in pairs (complementarity), which is characteristic of canonical nitrogenous bases. A model of a double-stranded nucleic acid is built considering the spatial model of a five-carbon model of a sugar molecule. When building a model of a double-stranded model of a nucleic acid molecule, a special type of polytope is used: a cross-polytope. The features of the interaction of nucleic acids in ribosomes responsible for the synthesis of protein molecules according to a given program are considered.
