Abstract excerpt

Hidden genetic variations have the potential to lead to the evolution of new traits. Molecular chaperones, which assist protein folding, may conceal genetic variations in protein-coding regions. Here we investigate whether the chemical milieu of cells has the potential to alleviate intracellular protein folding, a possibility that could implicate osmolytes in concealing genetic variations. We found that the model...
