Edward Nikolayevich Trifonov (Hebrew: ?????? ?????????, Russian: ???ap? ?p??o?o?; b.
March 31, 1937) is a Russian-born Israeli molecular biophysicist and a founder of Israeli bioinformatics.
In his research, he specializes in the recognition of weak signal patterns in biological sequences and is known for his unorthodox scientific methods. He discovered the 3-bp and 10-bp periodicity in the DNA sequences, as well as the rules determining the curvature of DNA molecules and their bending within nucleosomes.
Trifonov unveiled multiple novel codes in biological sequences and the modular structure of proteins.
He proposed an abiogenic theory of the origin of life, and molecular evolution from single nucleotides and amino acids to present-day DNA and protein sequences.
