Francis Crick
Francis Harry Compton Crick OM FRSwas a British molecular biologist, biophysicist, and neuroscientist, most noted for being a co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 with James Watson. Together with Watson and Maurice Wilkins, he was jointly awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material"...

assuming certain code deduce english-scientist information limited using
By using polymers of different composition and assuming a triplet code one can deduce limited information about the composition of certain triplets.
brain essentials details
It is essential to understand our brains in some detail if we are to assess correctly our place in this vast and complicated universe we see all around us.
criticism height scientist
A good scientist values criticism almost higher than friendship: no, in science criticism is the height and measure of friendship.
science average paper
There is no form of prose more difficult to understand and more tedious to read than the average scientific paper.
atheist ifs
If revealed religions have revealed anything it is that they are usually wrong.
free-will
Free will is located in or near the anterior cingulate sulcus.
synthesis protein genuine
Moreover the incorporation requires the same components needed for protein synthesis, and is inhibited by the same inhibitors. Thus the system is most unlikely to be a complete artefact and is very probably closely related to genuine protein synthesis.
neurons packs
You’re nothing but a pack of neurons.
indirect method evidence
It has yet to be shown by direct biochemical methods, as opposed to the indirect genetic evidence mentioned earlier, that the code is indeed a triplet code.
molecules acid determined
It now seems certain that the amino acid sequence of any protein is determined by the sequence of bases in some region of a particular nucleic acid molecule.
minorities may acid
The meaning of this observation is unclear, but it raises the unfortunate possibility of ambiguous triplets; that is, triplets which may code more than one amino acid. However one would certainly expect such triplets to be in a minority.
science synthesis action
Protein synthesis is a central problem for the whole of biology, and that it is in all probability closely related to gene action.
numbers nonsense lows
It would appear that the number of nonsense triplets is rather low, since we only occasionally come across them. However this conclusion is less secure than our other deductions about the general nature of the genetic code.
knowledge enemy
Exact knowledge is the enemy of vitalism.
