Armen Y Mulkidjanian, Dmitry A Cherepanov, Michael Y Galperin BMC Evolutionary Biology 2003, 3:12 (28 May 2003)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central | F1000 Biology |  Editor’s summary

The high level of UV radiation on the primordial Earth selected for RNA over other molecules as RNA was protected by the ability of its nitrogenous bases to absorb and disperse UV light.

Hunter B Fraser, Dennis P Wall, Aaron E Hirsh BMC Evolutionary Biology 2003, 3:11 (23 May 2003)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central |  Editor’s summary

In concluding that the more that a protein interacts with other proteins, the slower is its rate of evolution, this article reaffirms a claim made previously on the basis of fewer data, but subsequently refuted by others in this journal.
