Epistatic drift in protein evolution.

Abstract excerpt

New methods are revealing the character of epistatic interactions within proteins and their impacts on evolution. Variation in biochemical phenotypes across protein sequences is determined primarily by the context-independent effects of amino acids and global nonlinearities imposed by biophysical mechanisms. Specific epistasis - primarily pairwise interactions - plays a subsidiary role, but collectively has a...
