Abstract excerpt
Proteins often accumulate neutral mutations that do not affect current functions but can profoundly influence future mutational possibilities and functions. Understanding such hidden potential has major implications for protein design and evolutionary forecasting but has been limited by a lack of systematic efforts to identify potentiating mutations. Here, through the comprehensive analysis of a bacterial...
