As you saw in earlier sections of this book, the data bank inside
the DNA has been encoded in the form of four chemical bases repre-
sented by the letters A, T, G and C. But for this 4-letter DNA language
to be used, it must be translated into a 20-letter protein language. The
information in DNA becomes meaningful for proteins only as a result
of this translation process.
The well-known chemist Prof. Wilder Smith notes the difficult na-
ture of a system able to translate between these two languages:
Translation of information from one language into another constitutes
one of the most difficult tasks which can be presented to a computer. The
computer must be fed very carefully with extensive and highly compli-
cated programs, if it is to carry out the translation satisfactorily. Ameri-
cans have spent millions of dollars in the attempt to obtain machine
translations from Russian into English automatically from computers. Af-
ter more than twenty years of work, there still exists no machine which is
capable of independently translating idiomatic Russian into idiomatic
English without being constantly checked by a good interpreter who con-
tinually supervises the machine's work. The mechanized translation of
idioms from one language to another is so difficult that preprogramming
of the machine seldom suffices. 71
