Populations adapt to their environmentsthrough multiplication, variation, andselection Darwins natural selection .
All forms of (terrestrial) life descendfrom one common ancestor phylogeny
and the tree of life .

Three necessary conditions for Darwinian evolution are:
1. Multiplication,
2. Variation , and
3. Selection .
Biologists distinguish the genotype the genetic information andthe phenotype the organisms and all its properties. The genotype isunfolded in development and yields the phenotype .
Variation operates on the genotype through mutation andrecombination whereas the phenotype is the target of selection .
One important property of the Darwinian mechanism is that variationsin the form of mutation or recombination events occur uncorrelated totheir effects on the selection of the phenotype.

Results from evolution experiments :
Replication of RNA molecules in vitro gives rise to exponentialgrowth under suitable conditions.
Evolutionary optimization does not require cells and occurs aswell in cell-free molecular systems.
In vitro evolution allows for production of molecules for
predefined purposes and gave rise to a branch of biotechnology.

8/3/2019 Peter Schuster- Evolutionary Dynamics

Results from kinetic theory of molecular evolution :
Replicating ensembles of molecules form stationary populationscalled quasispecies , which represent the genetic reservoir ofasexually reproducing species.
For stable inheritance of genetic information mutation ratesmust not exceed a precisely defined and computable error-threshold.
The error-threshold can be exploited for the development ofnovel antiviral strategies.

What is neutrality ?
Selective neutrality == several genotypes having the same fitness .
Structural neutrality == several genotypes forming molecules withthe same structure .

Neutrality in molecular structures and its role inevolution :
Neutrality is an essential feature in biopolymer structures at theresolution that is relevant for function.
Neutrality manifests itself in the search for minimum free energystructures.
Diversity in function despite neutrality in structures results fromdifferences in suboptimal conformations and folding kinetics.
Neutrality is indispensible for optimization and adaptation.
