Residues participating in the protein folding nucleus do not exhibit preferential evolutionary conservation.

Abstract excerpt

To what extent does natural selection act to optimize the details of protein folding kinetics? In an effort to address this question, the relationship between an amino acid's evolutionary conservation and its role in protein folding kinetics has been investigated intensively. Despite this effort, no consensus has been reached regarding the degree to which residues involved in native-like transition state...
