Abstract: Abstract We point out why the evolution chose just twenty amino acids which further form proteins and higher cellular structures of molecules in organisms. We use the properties of the loop braid group in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.08.013
Abstract: An amoeba named Paulinella harbours 'chromatophores', cyanobacterium-derived photosynthetic bodies that evolved independent of plastids. Proteomics has shown that hundreds of nucleus-encoded proteins are targeted to the chromatophore, revealing the host cell's contributions to its recently… read more here.

Abstract: Protein secretion is important for many biotic and abiotic interactions. The evolution of protein secretion systems of bacteria, and related nanomachines, occurred by the co-option of machineries for motility, conjugation, injection, or adhesion. Some of… read more here.

Abstract: Assembly of 30S ribosomes involves the hierarchical addition of ribosomal proteins that progressively stabilize the folded 16S rRNA. Here, we use three-color single molecule FRET to show how combinations of ribosomal proteins uS4, uS17 and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1911349117
Abstract: Significance How proteins evolved to recognize and bind their ligands is a key mystery in protein function evolution. To explore this mystery, we study how proteins bind adenine, an ancient fragment. We characterize physicochemical patterns… read more here.
