Systems-Level Response to Point Mutations in a Core Metabolic Enzyme Modulates Genotype-Phenotype Relationship

Linking the molecular effects of mutations to fitness is central to understanding evolutionary dynamics. Here, we establish a quantitative relation between the global effect of mutations on the E. coli proteome and bacterial fitness. We created E. coli strains with specific destabilizing mutations i...
