Protein Folding Sculpting Evolutionary Change

Our work suggests that the forces that govern protein folding exert a profound effect on how genotypes are translated into phenotypes and that this in turn has strong effects on evolutionary processes. Molecular chaperones, also known as “heat-shock proteins” (Hsps), promote the correct folding and...
