Evolution of protein structures and interactions from the perspective of residue contact networks.

Abstract excerpt

Here we review mechanisms of protein evolution leading to structural changes in protein complexes. These mechanisms include mutations directly within protein interfaces, as well as the effects of mutations that propagate from distant regions of the protein. We also discuss the constraints protein complex structures impose on sequence evolution. We interpret, wherever possible, these mechanisms using amino acid...
