Evolution of Information and Complexity in an Ever-Expanding Universe
Using the usual definitions of information and entropy in quantum gravity and statistical mechanics and the existing views about the relation between information and complexity, we examine the evolution of complexity in an ever expanding universe.
متن کاملThe Expanding Polymerase Universe
Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I (pol I), discovered by Arthur Kornberg and colleagues in 1956. Thirteen years later, Paula de Lucia and John Cairns, at Stony Brook, New York, isolated an E. coli mutant, polA (its designation being a play on de Lucia’s first name, as proposed to Cairns by Julian Gross) that seemed to have less than 1% of the normal pol I activity. From this strain, a new DNA-p...
متن کاملProtein evolution and structural genomics
The genomic data available to computational biologists represents the product of the complex processes of evolution. In particular, the forces of mutation, duplication, and selection have acted to sculpt modern protein sequence and structure in the context of changing functional requirements. Just as crystallographers are able to determine protein structures through an analysis of X-ray diffrac...

متن کاملThe Protein Data Bank and structural genomics
The Protein Data Bank (PDB; http://www.pdb.org/) continues to be actively involved in various aspects of the informatics of structural genomics projects--developing and maintaining the Target Registration Database (TargetDB), organizing data dictionaries that will define the specification for the exchange and deposition of data with the structural genomics centers and creating software tools to...
