Agency in evolution of biomolecular communication
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1525, Issue 1, Page 88-103, July 2023., 2023 The emergence of agency in biomolecular systems involves a biphasic process of communication that constructs a message before it can be transmitted for interpretation. Evolutionary genomic and bioinformatic explorations suggest agency emerges when molecular machinery generates hierarchical layers of vocabularies in an entangled communication network ...

Antibody‐mediated enzyme formation: Its legacy at age fifty‐four
Journal of Molecular Recognition, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021 The Two Waves. This sign stands on the waterfront promenade of Nervi, the East end of Genoa's municipality as a warning against dangerous storms. Here, we are using it as a conceptual illustration of the peculiar rhythm of frequency of the AMEF pubblications since 1967. Abstract Antibody‐mediated enzyme formation is a phenomenon first described in 1968

Purpose for and within Creation: A Theological Appraisal of Organismic Teleology
Modern Theology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 396-409, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Although many believe that modern evolutionary biology renders teleology superfluous, this article explores the recent resurgence of attempts to locate teleology, functions, and purpose in the nature of organisms. This essay further explores the relevance of teleology within Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox traditions, and the ways ...

Da, pour and to clauses in gradually teleonomic verb constructions. A comparative approach to Serbian, French and English [PDF]
Južnoslovenski Filolog, 2017 This paper examines how the Serbian “da” subordinate clause, the French preposition pour and the English particle to, mainly used in clauses expressing purpose, can become linguistic forms expressing temporal and oppositional values.

Revision of Drusinae subfamily (Trichoptera, Limnephilidae): divergence by paraproct and paramere: speciation in isolation by integration [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2017 In the last few years we have described over 70 new incipient sibling limnephild species applying the discovered Trichoptera speciation traits of the paraproct and paramere for species recognition and delimitation. In this revision on Drusinae subfamily,

The primordial tRNA acceptor stem code from theoretical minimal RNA ring clusters
BMC Genetics, 2020 Background Theoretical minimal RNA rings code by design over the shortest length once for each of the 20 amino acids, a start and a stop codon, and form stem-loop hairpins. This defines at most 25 RNA rings of 22 nucleotides. As a group, RNA rings mimick

Collective Intelligence of Morphogenesis as a Teleonomic Process
, 2022 Multiscale competency is a central phenomenon in biology: molecular networks, cells, tissues, and organisms all solve problems via behavior in various spaces (metabolic, physiological, anatomical, and the familiar 3D space of movement).

Nutrient‐specific compensation for seasonal cold stress in a free‐ranging temperate colobine monkey
Functional Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 9, Page 2170-2180, September 2018., 2018 Plain Language Summary Abstract Homeostatic responses of animals to environmentally induced changes in nutrient requirements provide a powerful basis for predictive ecological models, and yet, such responses are virtually unstudied in the wild. We tested for macronutrient‐specific compensatory feeding responses by free‐ranging golden snub‐nosed monkeys
