Protein-based machines diverse

Graphical Representation of Localized Changes (Transitions) and of Consilience in Diverse Protein-based Machines... 

Now, because it can cost just as much energy to produce an inefficient and more limited protein-based machine as it can to produce a more efficient and/or a new machine that can access a new energy source, obviously with natural selection the arrow of time for biology is toward greater complexity and diversity function (see Chapter 6). 

Consilient Mechanisms for Diverse Protein-based Machines The Efficient Comprehensive Hydrophobic Effect... 

The following set of axioms provides the basis for the engineering of diverse protein-based machines and of the design of molecular machines from amphiphilic polymers in general, as considered in Chapter 9. They also open the door to new insights into the function of biology s protein-based machines, as discussed in Chapters 7 and 8.
