A minimum principle in codon-anticodon interaction

Imposing a minimum principle in the framework of the so-called crystal basis model of the genetic code, we determine the structure of the minimum set of anticodons which allows the translational-transcription for animal mitochondrial code. The results are in very good agreement with the observed anticodons.
