Evolutionary meandering of intermolecular interactions along the drift barrier.
Many cellular functions depend on highly specific intermolecular interactions, for example transcription factors and their DNA binding sites, microRNAs and their RNA binding sites, the interfaces between heterodimeric protein molecules, the stems in RNA molecules, and kinases and their response regulators in signal-transduction systems. Despite the need for complementarity between interacting p...
متن کاملTranscriptional errors and the drift barrier.
Population genetics predicts that the balance between natural selection and genetic drift is determined by the population size. Species with large population sizes are predicted to have properties governed mainly by selective forces; whereas species with small population sizes should exhibit features governed by mutational processes alone. This “drift-barrier hypothesis” has been successful in ...
متن کاملPerturbation analyses of intermolecular interactions.
Conformational fluctuations of a protein molecule are important to its function, and it is known that environmental molecules, such as water molecules, ions, and ligand molecules, significantly affect the function by changing the conformational fluctuations. However, it is difficult to systematically understand the role of environmental molecules because intermolecular interactions related to t...
متن کاملEvolutionary Drift and Equilibrium Selection
This paper develops an approach to equilibrium selection in game theory based on studying . the learning process through which equilibrium is achieved. The differential equations derived from models of interactive learning typically have stationary states that are not isolated. Instead, Nash equilibria that specify different out-of-equilibrium behaviour appear in connected components of station...
متن کاملFermion sea along the sphaleron barrier.
We study the fermion Dirac sea along the minimal energy path between topologically distinct vacua in the electroweak theory. We follow in detail the interplay between the bound state and the continuum in the fermion creation/annihilation, as one passes from one vacuum to another. We calculate the quantum correction to the classical energy of the sphaleron barrier, arising from the fermion sea, ...
