This paper derives an isothermal efficiency equation using Gaussian distributions, generalizing it from molecular machines to ecosystems.

The paper resolves a long-standing paradox about σ38 promoters in E. coli by showing they use two UP elements instead of a -35 element and transcribe ribosomal promoters.

The paper uses information theory to show that EcoRI recognizes DNA sequences in 24 dimensions, suggesting a connection to the Leech lattice for optimal sphere packing.
