Published in Health and Medicine Week, December 13th, 2010

2010 DEC 13 -- A new study, 'The rate of the molecular clock and the cost of gratuitous protein synthesis,' is now available. "The nature of the protein molecular clock, the protein-specific rate of amino acid substitutions, is among the central questions of molecular evolution. Protein expression level is the dominant determinant of the clock rate in a number of organisms," scientists in the United States report.

"It has been suggested that highly expressed proteins evolve slowly in all species mainly to maintain robustness to translation errors that generate toxic misfolded proteins. Here we investigate this hypothesis experimentally by comparing the...
