Figure 2

The colored rotating classic circular genetic code. Quadrant one starts at Phe UUU and ends at Trp UGG, quadrant two starts at Leu CUU and ends at Arg CGG, quadrant three starts at Ile AUU and ends at Arg AGG, and quadrant four starts at Val GUU and ends at Gly GGG. The numbers outside of each codon indicate their position in the rotating 64-grid genetic code (Fig. 3). The arrows on the outside indicate that the position of those linked codons may be exchanged in a wobble-like quantic movement, except for Trp UGG and Met AUG. Codons with U at the center codifying for essential hydrophobic amino acids fall at a distance of 90 degrees in all quadrants (emphasized with a rectangle outside of them).
