Ligand Binding Site Structure Influences the Evolution of Protein Complex Function and Topology

Summary: It has been suggested that the evolution of protein complexes is significantly influenced by stochastic, non-adaptive processes. Using ligand binding as a proxy of function, we show that the structure of ligand-binding sites significantly influences the evolution of protein complexes. We sh...
