The protein domains of vertebrate species in which selection is more effective have greater intrinsic structural disorder

The paper introduces a new Codon Adaptation Index (CAIS) to measure selection effectiveness in vertebrates and shows that more adapted species have protein domains with higher intrinsic structural disorder.

Reconstructing the Evolutionary History of Nitrogenases: Evidence for Ancestral Molybdenum-Cofactor Utilization

This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of nitrogenases, finding that ancient nitrogenases likely used molybdenum cofactors, with implications for early biogeochemical cycles.
