Physical origins of protein superfamilies.

Abstract excerpt

In this work, we discovered a fundamental connection between selection for protein stability and emergence of preferred structures of proteins. Using a standard exact three-dimensional lattice model we evolve sequences starting from random ones and determine the exact native structure after each mutation. Acceptance of mutations is biased to select for stable proteins. We found that certain structures,...
