1

Antibody

immune system

2

Contractile

muscle, actin/myosing muscles

3

Messengers

insulin / glycogen

4

Structural

carbohydrates, collagen

5

storage

casein - milk

6

transport

hemoglobin

7

enzymes

ETP synthase?

8

gene expression

well

9

Proteins

do everything except instruction manual and long term energy storage.

10

Mutation results in AA substitution

Effect depends on:

what was the change?

what part of the protein?

and how vital was the protein?

11

Protein domain

collection of proteins that descend from a common ancestor

and share similar functions, sequence or structure

12

Exon shuffling

hybrid genes, breaking and joining of exons of one gene w/ another

13

Motif duplication ??

...

14

Robustness & stability

How much can the AA sequence change and still do its job

How well the job is done despite environmental variability

15

Purfying selection (negative)

reduced genetic diversity

16

Positive selection

advantageous sweeps population

17

De novo

new gene evolve from non-genic ancestral dna (RARE)
