Crick's sequence hypothesis, crucial for gene sequencing in healthcare, may not accurately predict protein folding for common diseases. Current physics-based assessments challenge its reliability for translating genetic information into disease treatment strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics and Molecular Biology
  • Biophysics
  • Translational Medicine

Background:

  • Gene sequencing and genomics are advancing personalized healthcare.
  • Crick's sequence hypothesis is fundamental to predicting disease traits from genetic information.
  • Progress in rare diseases contrasts with limited success for common diseases post-human genome sequencing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the fitness of Crick's sequence hypothesis for modern gene sequencing-based healthcare.
  • To assess the hypothesis's applicability to common human diseases.
  • To examine the physics of peptide-to-protein folding in relation to genetic information transfer.

Main Methods:

  • Review of Crick's sequence hypothesis in the context of genomics.

  • Analysis of the peptide-to-protein folding process using physics-based principles.
  • Comparison of hypothesis's success in rare versus common diseases.

    • Main Results:

    • The sequence hypothesis has shown success for rare diseases.
    • Limited progress has been made for common diseases using this hypothesis.
    • Physics-based assessment challenges the assumption of spontaneous, accurate protein folding from genetic sequences.

    Conclusions:

    • Crick's sequence hypothesis may not be fully supported by realistic physics for protein folding.
    • The hypothesis's limitations could explain the slow progress in treating common diseases via genomics.
    • Re-evaluation of the sequence hypothesis is needed for effective gene sequencing-based medical applications.
