We highlight an alternative: breaking triplet degeneracy - reshaping how codons are read, not just hijacked.

Not tinkering with recoding tricks but redesigning the code’s architecture.

If more stop codons mean less protein, can we really call this expansion? Recoding looks fragile - more in-frame stops give exponentially less protein. We need efficiency for true translational research.

Life’s “operating system” is a universal genetic code. For billions of years it seemed frozen. In ChemCatChem we explain why it looks this way - and how we might carefully expand it.
