Mutational properties of amino acid residues: implications for evolvability of phosphorylatable residues.

Abstract excerpt

As François Jacob pointed out over 30 years ago, evolution is a tinkering process, and, as such, relies on the genetic diversity produced by mutation subsequently shaped by Darwinian selection. However, there is one implicit assumption that is made when studying this tinkering process; it is typically assumed that all amino acid residues are equally likely to mutate or to result from a mutation. Here, by...
