Abstract excerpt
It is well established that the conservation of protein structure during evolution constrains sequence divergence. The conservation of certain physicochemical environments to preserve protein folds and then the biological function originates a site-specific structurally constrained substitution pattern. However, protein native structure is not unique. It is known that the native state is better described by an...
