  1. Are We Alone?: Philosophical Implications of the Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life.Paul Davies - 1995 - Basic Books.
    The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI) raises a number of scientific/philosophical questions. If we are the only conscious, intelligent species in the galaxy, why? If we are not, given that other cultures must be more technically advanced than us, why haven't we met them yet?

  • More than the sum of their parts: On the evolution of proteins from peptides.Johannes Söding & Andrei N. Lupas - 2003 - Bioessays 25 (9):837-846.
    Despite their seemingly endless diversity, proteins adopt a limited number of structural forms. It has been estimated that 80% of proteins will be found to adopt one of only about 400 folds, most of which are already known. These folds are largely formed by a limited ‘vocabulary’ of recurring supersecondary structure elements, often by repetition of the same element and, increasingly, elements similar in both structure and sequence are discovered. This suggests that modern proteins evolved by fusion and recombination from (...)
