Mutational robustness and geometrical form in protein structures.

Abstract excerpt

Theoretical studies of RNA and lattice protein models suggest that mutationally robust or the so-called designable phenotypes tend to have special geometric features such as being more compact and more geometrically regular. Such geometrical forms have been also linked to speed of folding and stability properties that may also assist in promoting mutational robustness. Here we test these theoretical predictions...
