Vectorial Metabolism and the Evolution of Transport Systems

Early concepts of transport suggested that enzymes and transporters are evolutionarily related. In this brief minireview, evidence is presented suggesting that, contrary to this view, transport proteins and enzymes evolved independently of each other as two distinct classes of proteins from
