Abstract excerpt
In some proteins, a unique class of nonconserved positions is characterized by their ability to generate diverse functional outcomes through single amino acid substitutions. Due to their ability to tune protein function, accurately identifying such "rheostat" positions is crucial for protein design, for understanding the impact of mutations observed in humans, and for predicting the evolution of pathogen drug...
