Evolutionary aspects

A method for detecting conserved residues, called evolutionary tracing (ET), was developed by lichtarge et al. [45], Several groups have embarked on developing methods for detecting functional sites based on ET and related methods (see 

These examples show that binding site formation is governed by physical, chemical, and evolutionary constraints and that these principles can be used for uncovering functional binding sites. 

The common ancestor of life was probably a chemoautotrophic hyperthermophilic anaerobe. This metabolism first theory assumes that life started with catalytic metal sulfide surface/compartments in a hydro thermal-vent setting in the Hadean 

There are various aspects of autotrophic carbon fixation linked to chemistry  

2) The use of C02 in chemistry normally requires its interaction with metal centers of catalysts one such example is the Kolbe-Schmitt carboxylation of phenol to produce salicylic acid. The potential of C02 as a raw material in the synthesis of carboxylates, carbonates, or carbamates is rather limited. A future aim is the economically attractive synthesis of carboxylic acids, or optically

On the basis of the available structural data, evidence has accumulated for a common ancestral 8Fd with two [Fe4S4l clusters for both monocluster (3Fe and 4Fe) and dicluster (7Fe and 8Fe) Fds. The evolutionary aspects of Fds have been discussed in detail in several reviews (52, 60) and the arguments will not be repeated here. It is worth noting, however, that the higher potential [Fe3S4] ° clusters are believed to have evolved from their low potential [Fe4S4] counterparts in order to facilitate higher potential electron transport processes.

One of the hypotheses regarding evolutionary aspects of flavonoid diversification concerns the concept of flavonol accumulation in basal Angiosperms versus flavone accumulation in advanced families. Recently, some further efforts have been made towards defining the flavone/flavonols ratio in Dicotyledonae and their relation to lignification, indicating an increased tendency towards flavonol accumulation in lignified plants, whereas herbaceous species tend to accumulate more of the flavones. From the presented entries, it appears that flavone derivatives are more abundant in Lamiaceae than flavonols. In the Asteraceae, however, more data concern the flavonols. Both families are more or less herbaceous and members of the more advanced Angiosperms.

The odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and the chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are proteins from the lymph that are thought to accomplish these tasks, solubilizing and protecting the odorant and contact chemosensory molecules. This chapter describes the biochemical and evolutionary aspects of these two families of peripheral sensory proteins of insects. Particular attention will be paid to the subclassification of binding proteins, the diversity of gene structures and the phyletic and molecular relatedness between binding proteins from different insect species.

Population and evolutionary aspects of a genetic region are highly relevant to the study of Mendelian and complex diseases. These relate to our ability to localize and identify disease predisposing variants, and to our understanding of the mechanisms by which some disease predisposing genes can become relatively common in a population. 

It remains an early day in correlating the chromophores of vision with the genetic code. However, an alternate explanation of the fourfold repeat would suggest that each fold is related to one of the individual chromophores of vision. This explanation does not include any hierarchal inference and it does not suggest any evolutionary aspect. The same fourfold repeat is found in the earliest animals as suggested by the high cross-species factor mentioned above.
