Abstract excerpt
Fitness landscapes are models of the sequence space of a genetic element that map how each sequence corresponds to its activity and can be used to guide laboratory evolution. The ribosome is a macromolecular machine that is essential for protein synthesis in all organisms. Because of the prevalence of dominant lethal mutations, a comprehensive fitness landscape of the ribosomal peptidyl transfer center (PTC) has...
