Predicting the viability of beta-lactamase: How folding and binding free energies correlate with beta-lactamase fitness.

One of the long-standing holy grails of molecular evolution has been the ability to predict an organism's fitness directly from its genotype. With such predictive abilities in hand, researchers would be able to more accurately forecast how organisms will evolve and how proteins with novel funct...
