Prospecting the protein design landscape

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines the current state of various protein design approaches. We discuss the current possibilities enabled by recently released tools, highlight future avenues to pursue in protein design, and underscore the crucial role of key databases and resources for successful protein design workflows.

Empirical approaches to detecting the action of natural selection in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2004
This dissertation examines two aspects of how natural selection shapes the amount and pattern of genetic variation within and between species: (1) the role of positively selected alleles in shaping the variation within and between subpopulations of a ...

Natural Induction: Spontaneous Adaptive Organisation without Natural Selection

Entropy
Evolution by natural selection is believed to be the only possible source of spontaneous adaptive organisation in the natural world. This places strict limits on the kinds of systems that can exhibit adaptation spontaneously, i.e., without design ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Environmental coupling of selection and heritability limits evolution [PDF]

, 2006
There has recently been great interest in applying theoretical quantitative genetic models to empirical studies of evolution in wild populations. However, while classical models assume environmental constancy, most natural populations exist in variable ...

MAHONIA AQUIFOLIUM AS A PROMISING RAW MATERIAL FOR THE FOOD INDUSTRY

Scientific Study & Research: Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, Food Industry, 2017
The development of the food industry leads to the expansion of the range of processed raw materials. Mahonia aquifolium today can be attributed to the non-traditional agricultural plants.

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Spatial heterogeneity, frequency-dependent selection and polymorphism in host-parasite interactions

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Genomic and pathology analysis has revealed enormous diversity in genes involved in disease, including those encoding host resistance and parasite effectors (also known in plant pathology as avirulence genes).

“The Case for Natural Selection” [PDF]

Nature, 1954
THAT my review of Dr. Huxley's book should be regarded as a matter of “major concern to general biological theory” is a sobering thought. It just shows how careful one must be in approaching the preserves of evolutionary genetics.
