Within highly exchangeable pairs of amino acids, high Ne species are able to prefer #arginine over #lysine, and #valine over #isoleucine. This matches #thermophile preferences, as expected from theories of marginal protein stability at mutation-selection-drift balance. 1/6

Some innovative #edTech that I probably need to refresh, but having #students throwing a foam D20 around the #lectureTheatre does help them #remember the lecture. And avoids it being a telephone directory reading dirge. #joke What is a #pirate's favourite amino acid?
