A protein evolution model with independent sites that reproduces site-specific amino acid distributions from the Protein Data Bank
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Since thermodynamic stability is a global property of proteins that has to be conserved during evolution, the selective pressure at a given site of a protein sequence depends on the amino acids present at other sites. However, models...
