e combination of selectivity and plasticity may constitute inherent property of all specific protein interactions, for it has clear evolutionary advantages over mechanistic self-assembly, allowing the cell 1) to capitalize on the evolutionary memory manifested as the limited selectivity of specific protein associations, 2) to adapt its organization to a given environmental context and 3) to explore new variants of intracellular molecular organization in the course of biological evolution.In

A webcast (7 min) explaining why and how adaptive plasticity is necessarily enforced by evolutionary selection at each and every scale of biological organization - including molecular scale - and what this means for our understanding/modeling of protein interaction networks and cellular organization can be viewed at:
