Protein evolution within and between species.

Abstract excerpt

Protein evolution can be seen as the successive replacement of amino acids by other amino acids. In general, it is a very slow process which is triggered by point mutations in the nucleotide sequence. These mutations can transform into single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within populations and diverging proteins between species. It is well known that in many cases amino acids can be replaced by others without...
