It is assumed that much more functional importance for protein activity than expected may be
granted by methylation that occurs at the side-chain of aspartate or glutamate residue. In …

The genetic theory of morphological evolution postulates that form evolves largely by
changing the expression proteins that are functionally conserved. It follows that …

Salmonids are teleost fish of profound research and economic interest. Embryonic
development is a key aspect of salmonid biology that can be critically affected by …
