Abstract excerpt
Fitness effects of mutations that do not arise from changes in a protein's ability to perform its physiological functions (called collateral fitness effects or CFEs) are an understudied aspect of fitness landscapes. We have previously systematically measured the CFEs of all possible single amino acid substitutions in four proteins and found the frequency of deleterious mutations to vary by two orders of...
