Improved prediction of site-rates from structure with averaging across homologs.

Abstract excerpt

Variation in mutation rates at sites in proteins can largely be understood by the constraint that proteins must fold into stable structures. Models that calculate site-specific rates based on protein structure and a thermodynamic stability model have shown a significant but modest ability to predict empirical site-specific rates calculated from sequence. Models that use detailed atomistic models of protein...
