Abstract excerpt
Most pathogens mutate and evolve over time to escape immune and drug pressure. To achieve this, they alter specific hotspot residues in their intracellular proteins to render the targeted drug(s) ineffective and develop resistance. Such hotspot residues may be located as a cluster or uniformly as a signature of adaptation in a protein. Identifying the hotspots and signatures is extremely important to...
