A Unifying Scenario on the Origin and Evolution of Cellular and Viral Domains [PDF]
, 2009 The cellular theory on the nature of life has been one of the first major advancements in biology. Viruses, however, are the most abundant life forms, and their exclusion from mainstream biology and the Tree of Life (TOL) is a major paradox in biology ...

The effects of added salt on the second virial coefficients of the complete proteome of E. coli [PDF]
, 2002 Bacteria typically have a few thousand different proteins. The number of proteins with a given charge is a roughly Gaussian function of charge - centred near zero, and with a width around ten (in units of the charge on the proton).
