Chemical Kinship of DNA and Protein

The Molecular Recognition Theory [MRT] of Blalock can predict amino acid sequence regions that have mutual attraction in peptides and proteins. Using this concept an antibody affinity domain was discovered leading to novel approaches in the immunotherapy of human diseases. MRT has also led the foundation for a binary code based interpretation of the genetic code. Reading the binary code in DNA database has predicted protein-protein contacts described by three-dimensional models.
