The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 21, Page 5855-5870, November 2025.The Alphafold model of the atypical CP12 protein from the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana did not correspond to small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) data. By combining site‐directed spin labelling electron paramagnetic resonance experiments (SDSL‐EPR) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we deciphered the structural dynamics of this CP12, revealing ...

The Genesis of Malaria: The Origin of Mosquitoes and Their Protistan Cargo, Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
, 2013 Malaria is caused by the parasite belonging to the genus Plasmodium; however, creation biologists maintain this organism was not always parasitic. Plasmodium is probably a degenerate form of algae.

Origin of the Eukaryotic Cell [PDF]
, 2017 All complex life on Earth is composed of ‘eukaryotic’ cells. Eukaryotes arose just once in 4 billion years, via an endosymbiosis — bacteria entered a simple host cell, evolving into mitochondria, the ‘powerhouses’ of complex cells. Mitochondria lost most

Symbiogenesis: Beyond the endosymbiosis theory?
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2017 Symbiogenesis, literally 'becoming by living together', refers to the crucial role of symbiosis in major evolutionary innovations. The term usually is reserved for the major transition to eukaryotes and to photosynthesising eukaryotic algae and plants by endosymbiosis.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.ABSTRACT Evolutionary transitions to carnivory represent profound shifts in feeding mode that are often accompanied by widespread changes in organismal function, behaviour and ecology. Such transitions have evolved numerous times among animals, and predator–prey interactions have been major drivers of animal evolution.

Fundamental Molecules of Life are Pigments which Arose and Evolved to Dissipate the Solar Spectrum
, 2014 The driving force behind the origin and evolution of life has been the thermodynamic imperative of increasing the entropy production of the biosphere through increasing the global solar photon dissipation rate.

Spermatophyta Molecular Clock: Time Drift and Recent Acceleration
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.Exponential increase in the base substitution rate in recent geologic time. ABSTRACT Angiospermae radiation is widely recognized as a mid‐Cretaceous event, but the adaptive radiation of Asarum and Viola as spring ephemerals also occurred during the Quaternary. To better understand the evolution of Angiospermae through geological time, a robust and well‐

Infection dynamics of endosymbionts that manipulate arthropod reproduction
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1787-1812, October 2025.ABSTRACT A large proportion of arthropod species are infected with endosymbionts, some of which selfishly alter host reproduction. The currently known forms of parasitic reproductive manipulations are male‐killing, feminization, cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction and distortion of sex allocation.

Evolution: functional evolution of nuclear structure. [PDF]
, 2011 The evolution of the nucleus, the defining feature of eukaryotic cells, was long shrouded in speculation and mystery. There is now strong evidence that nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and nuclear membranes coevolved with the endomembrane system, and that ...
