Thoughts on quintessence, essence, #mutation, and #evolution. Thanks to #Hamlet as always.

What is the "essence" of a barn owl? Can it change? What is the "essence" of Nerve Growth Factor? Can it change? Just asking these questions is, to me, flirting with madness. Or at least confusion.

Following up on yesterday's post about the vast universe of protein sequence space. I mentioned Dan Dennett's brilliant Library of Mendel, itself a subset of the famous Library of Babel.

Today I go more deliberately through the Library of Babel concept, and rename the protein library to The Library of Maynard Smith. (Frances Arnold at Caltech already did that, more than 10 years ago!)
