Abstract excerpt
Native state of proteins is better represented by an ensemble of conformers in equilibrium than by only one structure. The extension of structural differences between conformers characterizes the conformational diversity of the protein. In this study, we found a negative correlation between conformational diversity and protein evolutionary rate. Conformational diversity was expressed as the maximum root mean...
