Abstract excerpt
Proteins possess qualities of robustness and adaptability to perturbations such as mutations, but occasionally fail to withstand them, resulting in loss of function. Herein, the structural impact of mutations is investigated independently of the functional impact. Primarily, we aim at understanding the mechanisms of structural robustness pre-requisite for functional integrity. The structural changes due to...
