A description of the protein structures by evolutionary-programmed Turing machine

Abstract

Proteins belong amongst one of the essential biological structures which influence processes occurring in living organisms. The elementary characterization of proteins has a form of sequences containing amino-acids which are elements of primary protein structures. This paper is concerned with the description of primary protein structures by the evolutionary-programmed Turing machine. The description has an appearance of rules which are used for the representation of the Turing machine's program. It therefore means that it is possible to use a Turing machine for the description of original proteins on the basis of amino-acid sequences or the eventual reconstruction of the original protein if damage occurred.
