Enhanced picture of protein-folding intermediates using organic solvents in H/D exchange and quench-flow experiments.

abstract：:Optimization theory has been used to analyze evolutionary adaptation. This theory has explained many features of biological systems, from the genetic code to animal behavior. However, these systems show important deviations from optimality. Typically, these deviations are large in some particular components of the sys...
