EvolutionIn nature the macroscopic diversity we see stems from a molecular unity.

All organisms  use the same 20 aminoacidsAll organisms use the same nucleotides for DNA, RNAThe aminoacids are all L amino acidsRibose units of DNA and RNA arre all D isomers.The basic properties of the proteins in E.coli and Humans are the same.The function of DNA and RNA pertains, but the differences between procaryotes and eucaryotes becomes significant

EvolutionThe biochemical similarities extend to even higher levels of organisation

Biochemical pathwaysMetabolism

All this can be explained so far, with the presence of a common ancestor for all living organisms.This cell had already acquired all basic biochemical features.

EvolutionThe diversity at higher level of organisation has arisenFrom Darwinian divergenceBut the most basic functions of an organism have been conserved.Reason for this: any alteration in these functionsLETHAL !!!!!!!!

EvolutionComparisons at the macroscale:  comparisons of the organsims, the fossil recordBut even more compelling is the comparison on the protein level.These studies provide deeper insights into how evolution works

Page 7: Chapter 3 Proteins TE Creighton - Aalborg Universitethomes.nano.aau.dk/fp/nano5/protstruct/protein evolution...features. Evolution y The diversity at higher level of organisation has

EvolutionE.g. A DNA chain of of only 1000 nucleotidesCan exist with any one of 4 1000 different nucleotide sequences.A small protein of 100 aminoacids can have 20 100different sequences.Compared to the mere numbers of possible proteins the existing proteins are determined by their ancestersAn existing protein serves its function. The variation is within the limit of function.’

Primordial origins of lifeLife started out of a primordial soupWhere all components have been made out of simple moleculesForming the primordial soupAll the processes have been deomnstrated in the laboratoryThe chicken‐egg problem of molecular biology:Who cames first DNA,RNA or protein

The accepted pictureSince the finding of Ribozymes:First RNA and RibozymesThereafter proteinsAnd DNA since DNA is chemically more stable as RNARemainders of thsi RNA world are:mRNAT‐RNARibosomes (hybrids RNA‐Protein)Coenzymes: ATP, NAD+, FAD composed of RNA moieties

Evolutionary divergence of proteinsSimilar sequences mean descent from a common ancestor.The number of possible RNA,DNA or protein sequences is so great that it is implausible that similar long sequences could have arisen by any mechanism other than divergence from the same ancestor.Proteins and nucleic acids that have evolved from a common ancestor are homologous.After the first replication, mutations have started in the two sequences

Homologous genes and proteinsProteins and genes are either Homologous or  NOT.Either or not from a common ancestor.

Homologous Genes and ProteinsThe other explanation Than divergence isConvergenceConvergence means two different sequences have acquired the same function ality and share a certain degree of homology.It exists at the macroscopic level but there are no instances where it could have been shown conclusively for nucleic acids and proteins.But it can not be dismissed
