	Image Left: Artificial nucleotide binding protein from molecular dynamics simulation, from study of structure and functions of proteins in the origins of life. An adenosine di-phosphate ligand (ball-and-sticks) is bound to the protein, which serves as a model for how ancient proteins can acquire new functionality through mutations.
