Improved molecular switch could serve as sensor, medical tool
... experiments have demonstrated that the new switch performs 10 times more effectively than the early model and that its "on-off" effect is repeatable. The new technique to produce the molecular switch and related experimental results are reported in the November issue of the journal Chemistry & Biology. The p......process. "It turns out that the complicated method performs well when reality is simple, but the simpler method is much more accurate when reality is complex," Thornton said. During the past decade, maximum likelihood has eclipsed maximum parsimony as a tool for evolutionary biologists, largely because of stu...
