Protein stability promotes evolvability.
The biophysical properties that enable proteins to so readily evolve to perform diverse biochemical tasks are largely unknown. Here, we show that a protein's capacity to evolve is enhanced by the mutational robustness conferred by extra stability. We use simulations with model lattice proteins to demonstrate how extra stability increases evolvability by allowing a protein to accept a wider rang...
متن کاملIndecisive Generality
When a project fails to clarify important issues, to complete the analysis, or to make clear statements where the system is meant to be extensible and where it needs to be stable, architects tend to answer the indecisiveness in a technical way: general and complex solutions. This diagnosis pattern is about the balance between making decisions and introducing variability and configurability. It ...
متن کاملPhylogenetic diversity promotes ecosystem stability
Ecosystem stability in variable environments depends on the diversity of form and function of the constituent species. Species phenotypes and ecologies are the product of evolution, and the evolutionary history represented by co-occurring species has been shown to be an important predictor of ecosystem function. If phylogenetic distance is a surrogate for ecological differences, then greater ev...
متن کاملGenerality: A New Criterion for Measuring Generality of Documents
Most information retrieval systems, including Web search engines, use similarity ranking algorithms based on a vector space model to find relevant information in response to a user’s request. However, the retrieved information is frequently irrelevant, because most of the current information systems employ index terms or other techniques that are variants of term frequency. In this paper, we pr...
متن کاملWithout Loss of Generality
One sometimes reads in a mathematical proof that a certain assumption can be made ‘without loss of generality’ (WLOG). In other words, it is claimed that considering what first appears only a special case does nevertheless suffice to prove the general result. Typically the intuitive justification for this is that one can exploit symmetry in the problem. We examine how to formalize such ‘WLOG’ a...
