Abstract
We show that our recently published Arithmetic Model of the genetic code based on Godel Encoding is robust against symmetry transformations, specially Rumer s one U > G, A > C, and constitutes a link between the degeneracy structure and the chemical composition of the 20 canonical amino acids. As a result, several remarkable atomic patterns involving hydrogen, carbon, nucleon and atom numbers are derived. This study has no obvious practical application(s) but could, we hope, add some new knowledge concerning the physico-mathematical structrure of the genetic code.
