Jeffery W. Kelly1
Abstract
How much and what kind of information is required to fold a chain of amino acids into a functioning protein? It seems the problem may not be as daunting as once thought — the solution is in the coevolution data.
The linear sequence of amino acids in a protein specifies its final three-dimensional structure and function1. But what molecular information is necessary and sufficient to specify protein form and function?
