A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team led by Nicole Grunstra from the University of Vienna and Anne Le Maître from the ...

Researchers identified the proteins of a CO2-fixing organelle, namely, 'pyrenoid,' in the marine algal group Chlorarachniophyta and revealed various pyrenoid-associated proteins among algal groups, ...

Convergent evolution is the concept by which organisms independently develop mechanisms to adapt to the same, or similar, selective pressures. Classic examples include the evolution of camera-like ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Plants and algae fix carbon through photosynthesis, which converts CO 2 to organic carbon. This biological process is catalyzed by the Rubisco enzyme, the most abundant protein on Earth ...

The GFP fusion proteins of PPAP15 (bifunctional dTDP-4-dehydrorhamnose 3,5- epimerase/dTDP-4-dehydrorhamnose reductase) and PPAP21 (beta-glucosidase) were observed in the cytoplasm and possibly ...
