Many different theories of ageing have been proposed, based often on highly specific molecular causes. Recent advances in evolutionary theory support the idea that ageing is caused by progressive accumulation of defects, but indicate that multiple processes are likely to operate in parallel. This ca

An hypothesis is presented by which gamete specialization resolves a conflict between the function and replication of mitochondria. The function of mitochondria is to synthesize ATP by oxidative phosphorylation, which is coupled to respiratory electron transport. This requires a mitochondrial geneti
## Abstract Recent work on a small European cave salamander (__Proteus anguinus__) has revealed that it has exceptional longevity, yet it appears to have unexceptional defences against oxidative damage. This paper comes at the end of a string of other studies that are calling into question the free
## Abstract The present study employs a complete theoretical investigation, at the B3LYP/ccโpVTZ level of theory, of the interactions between the tyrosyl radical and nitric oxide, exploring in detail the nitrotyrosine formation radical mechanism. Tyrosyl radicals play an essential role in catalytic
