Allostery can convert binding free energies into concerted domain motions in enzymes by Nicole Stéphanie Galenkamp, Sarah Zernia, Yulan B. Van Oppen, Marco van den Noort, Andreas Milias-Argeitis, Giovanni Maglia

“…Since molecules or proteins might be able to selectively stabilize one of the folds, this observation suggests an evolutionary path for allostery in enzymes. In AK, this complex catalytic framework has likely emerged to prevent futile ATP/ADP hydrolysis and to regulate the enzyme for different energy needs of the cell.…”

Intra-specific diversity and adaptation modify regime shifts dynamics under environmental change by Thomas Imbert, Jean-Christophe Poggiale, Mathias Gauduchon

“…Thus, population management needs to consider diversity, evolution, and environmental change altogether to better anticipate regime shifts on eco-evolutionary time scales. Here, evolution and diversity showed complex interactions with population shift dynamics. …”

Homologs of the rolC gene of naturally transgenic toadflaxes Linaria vulgaris and Linaria creticola are expressed in vitro by T. V. Matveeva, O. D. Bogomaz, L. A. Golovanova, Yu. S. Li, D. Dimitrov

“…The results obtained are an important argument in favor of the fact that cT-DNA is functional and that its fixation in genomes played a certain role in the evolutionary process. However, the level of expression of the gene studied is quite low. …”
