A possible molecular metric for biological evolvability.

Journal of biosciences - 1 Jul 2012

Mittal Aditya, Jayaram B

Abstract excerpt

Proteins manifest themselves as phenotypic traits, retained or lost in living systems via evolutionary pressures. Simply put, survival is essentially the ability of a living system to synthesize a functional protein that allows for a response to environmental perturbations (adaptation). Loss of functional proteins leads to extinction. Currently there are no universally applicable quantitative metrics at the...
