Seems nature is modular to the nth degree."Together with a bunch of data-minded colleagues, Alan Lipkus of the Chemical Abstracts Service took a deep dive into his organization's century-old library of 24 million organic compounds—most of them synthetic. They found that more than half are built from just 143 basic shapes, or "frameworks." And the rest? Well, building those requires the other 836,565 cataloged frameworks."
When DNA is factored into this notion of frameworks, the ability of nature to generate extreme complexity out of elegant modularity readily becomes apparent..."The four bases found in DNA are adenine (abbreviated A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). These four bases are attached to the sugar/phosphate to form the complete nucleotide, as shown for adenosine monophosphate. "
