You are correct about the specifics regarding lysine. I stand corrected. Serves me right for trying to dredge up high school bio after all these years without review...

Nevertheless, the main point which I was making, that the genetic code is not a "code" in the same fashion that a cypher or a language is, still stands.

Thank you for the corrective.

It is still coded information. What is your point? That letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters, books and libraries don't contain information?
