This rate-constancy prediction is tested here by studying the relative rates of protein evolution in a simple phylogenetic context.
Venom genes form large multigene families, and evolve by protein evolution.
She also formulated the first probability model of protein evolution, the PAM model, in 1966.
But, most molecular biologists did not understand the constraints on protein evolution.
Lesk has made significant contributions to the study of protein evolution.
In order for exon shuffling to start to play a major role in protein evolution the appearance of spliceosomal introns had to take place.
Also, he studies selection at the sequence level and protein evolution.
There were several indications that this had a big impact on protein evolution.
Background Rates of protein evolution vary greatly and may be influenced by a variety of factors.
BK channels are a prime example of modular protein evolution.
