Metabolism
We explore the use of network approaches to analyze the evolution of metabolism. From this perspective and using large-scale genomic and bioinformatics tools, eleven different amino acid pathways have been proposed as ancestral to bacteria, archaea and eukarya, closer to the last common ancestor.
We also suggested that Metabolic Pathways have evolved by recruitment of blocks of enzymes sharing catalytic activities. |
