Birth and death of protein domains: a simple model of evolution explains power law behavior.

BMC evolutionary biology - 14 Oct 2002

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Power distributions appear in numerous biological, physical and other contexts, which appear to be fundamentally different. In biology, power laws have been claimed to describe the distributions of the connections of enzymes and metabolites in metabolic networks, the number of interactions partners of a given protein, the number of members in paralogous families, and other quantities. In network...
