On paper this might be an interesting game, but you have to think of things in terms of crystal structure, what is able to form hydrogen bonds, what ends up being sterically hindered and what that means for the molecule. This is why watson and crick and franklin's work was so seminal, it showed how genetic information was inherited through mechanical logic of these molecules alone. Before the structure of DNA was solved, there were a lot of competing theories over what molecule was the source of heritable information, and how this information was exactly passed down between generations.
