How conserved proteins acquire new physiological functions is a central question in molecular evolution. Rather than inventing new architectures, evolution often repurposes existing scaffolds, preserving core structural features while retuning the molecular logic that connects mechanism to physiology. Membrane transpor...

Nitrification is a major process in the global nitrogen cycle, initiated by the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite. The ammonia-oxidising bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea catalyses this first and rate-limiting step and depends on ammonium both as an energy substrate and as a nitrogen source, making ammonium acquisition cen...

Findings reveal that artificial selection shapes genome evolution in industrial strains, balancing production gains with metabolic trade-offs, and shows that many of the evolutionary processes in industrial strain improvement programmes mirror those at play during natural selection.
