Dynamics and adaptive benefits of modular protein evolution.

Abstract excerpt

During protein evolution, novel domain arrangements are continuously formed. Rearrangements are important for the creation of molecular biodiversity and for functional molecular changes which underlie developmental shifts in the bauplan of organisms. Here we review the mechanisms by which new arrangements arise and the potential benefits of rearrangements. We concentrate on how new domains emerge and why they...
