Other models include an adaptive life cycle of operons, which explains why they rarely evolve optimally (Price et al., 2006).
This lack of optimality could be due to the difference in growth conditions between the chemostat situation (40 g/l of fructose or glycerol) and the native soil habitat of P. fluorescens, e.g. that the chemostat condition is one of relative carbon excess for which the metabolic network is not evolved optimally.
The fact that climate change will alter multiple conditions at once complicates the picture further since the question then becomes: will populations be able to evolve optimally to multiple conditions, given their responses to selection on one trait due to changes to a single environmental factor?
Humans have evolved to optimally cope with dynamic events in a social environment.
These observations suggest that the loose regulation of Ero1β activity could have evolved to optimally support the high demand of disulfide bonds in secretory tissues.
While mechanical features of the antenna may have evolved to optimally detect conspecific IPFs, it has been hypothesized that the brain is responsible for recognizing conspecific IPIs (Riabinina et al., 2011).
Finally, other SF2 helicases have evolved to optimally accommodate dsRNA (e.g., RIG-I) or dsDNA (e.g., Sulfolobus solfataricus Swi2/Snf2) in a closed state complex and translocate with no observable unwinding (Durr et al., 2005; Myong et al., 2009; Jiang et al., 2011).
For instance, why has the brain not evolved to perform optimally without the need to consume chemical brews?
A multidisciplinary design method is developed in this paper to optimally evolve and synthesize multi-domain engineering systems.
Similar to how geometric optics serve as fundamental principles that model how the eye optimally evolved to transform light from the natural world to form an image on the retina, my research investigates how other physical and computational primitives guide the construction of perception and action throughout higher levels of the brain.
Furthermore, given that the response appears ubiquitous, it logically follows that the components of the immune system would have evolved to function optimally in the physiological febrile range.
