Abstract
Denton et al. (2002) have presented compelling evidence that protein folds ought to be understood as arising from physical laws rather than natural selection. Furthermore, they suggest this could have “implications regarding the origin of proteins, the origin of life and the fundamental nature of organic form.” They do not, however, explain what the physical basis is for understanding the origin of protein folds. Here, we wish to address this key missing ingredient.File in questo prodotto:
