Absence of selection for quantum coherence in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex: a combined evolutionary and excitonic study
Stéphanie Valleau, Romain A. Studer, Florian Häse +5
We present a study on the evolution of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson bacterial photosynthetic pigment-protein complex. This protein complex functions as an antenna. It transports absorb…
Evidence of evolutionary selection for co-translational folding
William M Jacobs, Eugene I Shakhnovich
Recent experiments and simulations have demonstrated that proteins can fold on the ribosome. However, the extent and generality of fitness effects resulting from co-translational f…
Statistical Physics of the Symmetric Group
Mobolaji Williams, Eugene Shakhnovich
Ordered chains (such as chains of amino acids) are ubiquitous in biological cells, and these chains perform specific functions contingent on the sequence of their components. Using…
