TL;DR:
As oestrogen receptor partial agonists with molecular and cellular properties similar to anthropogenic endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A, the soya phyto-oestrogens provide an interesting model for how attitudes about what is ‘synthetic’ v. what is‘natural,’ shapes understanding and perception of what it means for a compound to be endocrine disrupting and/or potentially harmful.

Phage display and structural studies reveal plasticity in substrate specificity of caspase-3a from zebrafish
Protein Science, 25(11), 2076–2088.
author keywords: phage display substrate library; substrate recognition; Danio rerio; apoptosis
MeSH headings : Allosteric Regulation; Animals; Caspase 3 / chemistry; Crystallography, X-Ray; Molecular Dynamics Simulation; Peptide Library; Substrate Specificity; Zebrafish
TL;DR:
The structure of zebrafish Casp3a is determined to 2.28Å resolution by X‐ray crystallography, and the results suggest that a limited number of amino acid substitutions near the active site result in plasticity of the S4 sub‐site by increasing flexibility of one active site loop and by affecting hydrogen‐bonding with substrate.
