Abstract excerpt
In this study, I take a new approach to modeling the evolutionary constraint of protein sequence, introducing the stabilizing selection of protein function into the nearly-neutral theory. In other words, protein function under stabilizing selection generates the evolutionary conservation at the sequence level. With the help of random mutational effects of nucleotides on protein function, I have derived the...
