Journal ArticleDOI

History of the ribosome and the origin of translation

TL;DR: A molecular-level model for the origin and evolution of the translation system, using a 3D comparative method, infer many steps in the evolution of translation, mapping out acquisition of structure and function revealing much about how modern biology originated from ancestral chemical systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of the ribosome at atomic resolution

TL;DR: Differences in ribosomes across species reveal that rRNA expansion segments have been added to rRNAs without perturbing the preexisting core, and provides insight to the structure of pre-last universal common ancestor r RNAs and the subsequent expansions that shaped the peptidyl transferase center and the conserved core.
Journal ArticleDOI

Secondary Structures of rRNAs from All Three Domains of Life

TL;DR: This work revised and corrected traditional secondary (2°) structures of rRNAs of Escherichia coli, Thermus thermophilus, Haloarcula marismortui, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Drosophila melanogaster, and Homo sapiens to broadly sample the phylogenetic tree and are mapped with a variety of data related to molecular interactions and geometry, phylogeny and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Packaging Double-Helical DNA into Viral Capsids: Structures, Forces, and Energetics

TL;DR: Coarse-grain molecular-mechanics models provide a detailed picture of DNA packaging in bacteriophage, revealing how conformation depends on capsid size and shape, and the presence or absence of a protein core.
