Abstract

Snowflakes, seashells and Romanesco broccoli are striking examples of fractal geometries in nature. A recent study published in Nature defines a set of molecular mechanisms for fractal assembly by identifying a nanometer-scale, regular fractal assembled from a native protein found in blue-green algae that likely arose as an evolutionary accident.

识别自然界最小的分形

雪花、贝壳和西兰花都是自然界分形几何图形的鲜明代表。最近发表在《自然》（Nature）上的一项研究确定了一套分形组装的分子机制，该研究发现了一种纳米级的规则分形，由蓝绿藻中的一种本地蛋白质组装而成，这种分形很可能是进化过程中偶然出现的。

期刊介绍： Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
