Volume changes in protein evolution.

Abstract excerpt

We have determined the variations in volume that occur during evolution in the buried core of three different families of proteins. The variation of the whole core is very small (approximately 2.5%) compared to the variation at individual sites (approximately 13%). However, by comparing our results to those expected from random sequences with no correlations between sites, we show that the small variation...
