Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
No convincing theory or hypothesis concerning the origin of biological cells exists today. Insight into the problem is difficult, because an empiric model of cell origination and division at the crucial phase of life, self-organization of protein nanostructures, is lacking. It has been shown experimentally that protein nanostructures exhibit signs of self-organization when an open far-from-equilibrium protein-water system condenses in vitro. In other words, to be active, protein must be in the nonequilibrium state. Such a form of self-organization is accompanied by nucleation and the formation of defects, which divide the protein film into domains ("cells") with nuclei. This type of structuring in the nonequilibrium (active) protein may be viewed as a crude empiric model of protein nucleation, since it includes the formation and division (self-organization) of biological cells, the origination of which, in turn, is intimately related to the self-organization of protein at the nanolevel. The reason for the similarity of the basic processes is identical conditions of protein condensation in vitro and in vivo. In both cases, when water evaporates rapidly from an open water-protein system that is far from thermodynamic equilibrium, the conditions necessary for protein nonequilibrium nanostructures be self-organized with nucleation in the form of nucleus-containing "cells" are set. © 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
