Abstract excerpt
Chaperones are proteins that help other proteins fold. They also affect the adaptive evolution of their client proteins by buffering the effect of deleterious mutations and increasing the genetic diversity of evolving proteins. We study how the bacterial chaperone GroE (GroEL+GroES) affects the evolution of green fluorescent protein (GFP). To this end, we subjected GFP to multiple rounds of mutation and selection...
