Molecular content relations in the genetic code

Abstract
The codons are numbered from 1–64 by a simple formula based on the number of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the nucleotides of each triplet. The codon range numbers that follow for the 20 amino acids are shown to be given by linear Diophantine and explicit molecular content equations in the number of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur atoms in each amino acid. Thus the universal genetic code that associated codons and amino acids is expressed in a precise way by purely physical molecular content relations.
