This chapter returns to the kind of numeric genetic matrices, which were considered in Chapter 4-6. This kind of genomatrices is not connected with the degeneracy of the genetic code directly, but it is related to some other structural features of the genetic code systems. The connection of the Kronecker families of such genomatrices with special categories of hypercomplex numbers and with their algebras is demonstrated. Hypercomplex numbers of these two categories are named “matrions of a hyperbolic type” and “matrions of a circular type.” These hypercomplex numbers are a generalization of complex numbers and double numbers. Mathematical properties of these additional categories of algebras are presented. A possible meaning and possible applications of these hypercomplex numbers are discussed. The investigation of these hyperbolic numbers in their connection with the parameters of molecular systems of the genetic code can be considered as a continuation of the Pythagorean approach to understanding natural systems.

A pseudo-spin reduced basis model for the description of the linear hydrogen-bonds molecular systems with strong correlations between protons on the neighbouring bonds is proposed. The proton states corresponding to the high-energy proton configurations near the heavy ionic groups are excluded from the initial basis. Some aspects of thermodynamics and energy spectrum for the proton subsystem of the molecular complexes are considered in the framework of reduced basis model. It is shown that for the complexes with large but finite number of hydrogen bonds N, the polarizability is proportional to N2, the specific heat is proportional to N−1 and the spectrum includes both zone and localized proton states. At the same time it is shown that correct thermodynamic limit is obtained as N→∞ on the base of pseudo-spin model with initial basis. As a result the limits of application of reduced basis model are determined.

Terahertz signal transmission in DNA is simulated and analyzed using molecular dynamics and digital signal processing techniques to demonstrate that signals encoded in vibrational movements of hydrogen bonds can travel along the backbone of DNA and eventually be recovered and analyzed using digital signal processing techniques.

A series of cocrystals of isoniazid and four of its derivatives have been produced with the cocrystal former 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid via a one-pot covalent and supramolecular synthesis, namely 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid–isoniazid, C6H7N3O·C11H14O2, 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid–N′-(propan-2-ylidene)isonicotinohydrazide, C9H11N3O·C11H14O2, 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid–N′-(butan-2-ylidene)isonicotinohydrazide, C10H13N3O·C11H14O2, 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid–N′-(diphenylmethylidene)isonicotinohydrazide, C19H15N3O·C11H14O2, and 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid–N′-(4-hydroxy-4-methylpentan-2-ylidene)isonicotinohydrazide, C12H17N3O2·C11H14O2. The co-former falls under the classification of a `generally regarded as safe' compound. The four derivatizing ketones used are propan-2-one, butan-2-one, benzophenone and 3-hydroxy-3-methylbutan-2-one. Hydrogen bonds involving the carboxylic acid occur consistently with the pyridine ring N atom of the isoniazid and all of its derivatives. The remaining hydrogen-bonding sites on the isoniazid backbone vary based on the steric influences of the derivative group. These are contrasted in each of the molecular systems.

In molecules with two functional groups that form hydrogen bonds, the strength of intramolecular hydrogen bonds does not depend significantly on the structure.
