 | | , k prime, are k=151, 157, 163, 167 and correspond to the p-adic length scales 10 nm, 80 nm, 640 nm, and 2560 nm. |
 | | In biologically interesting length scales four nearby Gaussian primes corresponding to k=151,157,163,167 appear and correspond to G-adic length scales L(k) varying from the thickness of the cell membrane to bacterial size (256 μm). |
 | | The requirement that genetic code, which corresponds to small prime p=127, is realized in DNA length scales, suggests strongly that small-p p-adicity is realized in biological length and time scales. |
