Disentangling contact and ensemble epistasis in a riboswitch.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations introduced into macromolecules often exhibit epistasis, where the effect of one mutation alters the effect of another. Knowing the mechanisms that lead to epistasis is important for understanding how macromolecules work and evolve, as well as for effective macromolecular engineering. Here, we investigate the interplay between "contact epistasis" (epistasis arising from physical interactions between...
