A Model for Protein Sequence Evolution Based on Selective Pressure for Protein Stability: Application to Hemoglobins

Negative selection against protein instability is a central influence on evolution of proteins. Protein stability is maintained over evolution despite changes in underlying sequences. An empirical all-site stability-based model of evolution was developed to focus on the selection of residues arising...
