If you're interested in a broad overview of how we think about protein complexity and its origination during deep evolutionary time, read our (relatively) exhaustive review here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I've also worked on how complicated protein features like multimeric assembly and allostery arise during natural evolution, which will be a major focus of my future work!
Origin of complexity in haemoglobin evolution - Nature
Experimental analysis of reconstructed ancestral globins reveals that haemoglobin’s complex tetrameric structure and oxygen-binding functions evolved by simple genetic and biophysical mechanisms.
