Compared to 'conventional' materials made from metal, glass, or ceramics, protein-based materials have unique mechanical properties. Furthermore, the morphology, mechanical properties, and functionality of protein-based ...

The fitness function developed in this thesis directly links the physicochemical properties of an enzyme to evolutionary fates in a quantitative and predictive manner through a comparative study of empirical and simulated ...

Copper (Cu) can be considered as a biological yin-yang element, because it is essential but toxic at the same time. To manage this paradox, cells have evolved complex molecular Cu transport pathways, in which Cu chaperones ...
