Long-Range Epistasis Mediated by Structural Change in a Model of Ligand Binding Proteins.

Recent analyses of amino acid mutations in proteins reveal that mutations at many pairs of sites are epistatic-i.e., their effects on fitness are non-additive-the combined effect of two mutations being significantly larger or smaller than the sum of their effects considered independently. Interestin...
