You can tell a molecule what to do with any number of letters, including the famous four-letter word. But in general you will find that the molecule pays no attention to you. "Sticks and stones my break my bonds, but words will never hurt me."

answ2. The letters, and indeed the names of the compounds they stand for, are only conveniences for common use. [A similar question might be "how did Shakespeare write his plays with only 26 letters to draw from?"

It is in the chemical nature of the compounds that the activity takes place. And your DNA is not described by only four letters - it is described by a combination of many tens of thousands of letters and their relative appearance.
