Phase Diagrams of Quasispecies Theory with Recombination and Horizontal Gene Transfer

open access: yes, 2006
We consider how transfer of genetic information between individuals influences the phase diagram and mean fitness of both the Eigen and the parallel, or Crow-Kimura, models of evolution.

Evolution of robustness in digital organisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We study the evolution of robustness in digital organisms adapting to a high mutation rate. As genomes adjust to the harsh mutational environment, the mean effect of single Imitations decreases, up until the point where a sizable fraction (up to 30% in ...

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Production of Esters in Escherichia coli Using Citrate Synthase Variants

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Acetate esters comprise a wide range of products including fragrances and industrial solvents. Biosynthesis of esters offers a promising alternative to chemical synthesis because such routes use renewable carbohydrate resources and minimize the ...

A Genomic Point Mutation in the Extracellular Domain of the Thyrotropin Receptor in Patients with Graves’ Ophthalmopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Orbital and pretibial fibroblasts are targets of autoimmune attack in Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) and pretibial dermopathy (PTD). The fibroblast autoantigen involved in these peripheral manifestations of Graves' disease and the reason for the association

Novel point mutations attenuate autotaxin activity [PDF]

open access: yesLipids in Health and Disease, 2009
Abstract Background The secreted enzyme autotaxin (ATX) stimulates tumor cell migration, tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, and metastasis. ATX hydrolyzes nucleotides, but its hydrolysis of lysophospholipids to produce lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) accounts for its biological activities.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Clarithromycin Resistance in Helicobacter Pylori

open access: yesCentral Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Objectives: Eradication rates of Helicobacter pylori with standard triple therapy are disappointing in studies from several countries. The main reason for failure was found to be bacterial resistance to one of the most commonly used antibiotics ...
