Evolution favors protein mutational robustness in sufficiently large populations.

BMC biology - 17 Jul 2007

Bloom Jesse D, Lu Zhongyi, Chen David, Raval Alpan, Venturelli Ophelia S, Arnold Frances H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: An important question is whether evolution favors properties such as mutational robustness or evolvability that do not directly benefit any individual but can influence the course of future evolution. Functionally similar proteins can differ substantially in their robustness to mutati...
