Creative destruction: New protein folds from old.

Abstract excerpt

Mechanisms of emergence and divergence of protein folds pose central questions in biological sciences. Incremental mutation and stepwise adaptation explain relationships between topologically similar protein folds. However, the universe of folds is diverse and riotous, suggesting more potent and creative forces are at play. Sequence and structure similarity are observed between distinct folds, indicating that...
