Chapter 9 discusses conceptual issues in protein evolution and provides a synthesis of lessons learned from studies of hemoglobin function. Using hemoglobin as a model molecule, we can exploit an unparalleled base of knowledge about structure-function relationships and we can characterize biophysical mechanisms of molecular adaptation at atomic resolution. It is therefore possible to document causal connections between genotype and biochemical phenotype at an unsurpassed level of rigor and detail. Moreover, since the oxygenation properties of hemoglobin provide a direct link between ambient O2 availability and aerobic metabolism, genetically based changes in protein function can be related to ecologically relevant aspects of organismal physiology. We therefore have a solid theoretical framework for making predictions and for interpreting observed associations between biochemical phenotype and fitness-related measures of whole-animal physiological performance. The chapter explores case studies that illustrate how experimental research on functional properties of a well-chosen model protein can be used to address some of the most conceptually expansive questions in evolutionary biology: Is genetic adaptation predictable? Why does evolution follow some pathways rather than others?

During recent years a pandemic clone of Vibrio parahaemolyticus has emerged. Isolates of this clone are distributed among several serotypes, but are genotypically related. In the present study, a phenotyping method (biochemical fingerprinting) was used to characterize pandemic and non-pandemic isolates belonging to V. parahaemolyticus. It was found that the pandemic isolates showed a high level of phenotypic homogeneity and a majority of the pandemic isolates belonged to the same biochemical phenotype, whereas non-pandemic V. parahemolyticus isolates were more heterogeneous. In conclusion, biochemical fingerprinting of V. parahaemolyticus can be used as a first screening method to differentiate between pandemic and non-pandemic isolates of V. parahaemolyticus.
