The fractal protein is a new concept intended to improve evolvability, scalability, exploitability and provide a rich medium for evolutionary computation. Here the idea of fractal proteins and fractal proteins with concentration levels are introduced, and a series of experiments showing how evolution can design and exploit them within gene regulatory networks is described.
