Figure 2. Stability distributions and fixation probabilities.

Figure 2

The panel at left show the probability Inline graphic that a protein in an evolving population will have extra stability Inline graphic, as given by Equation 3. The panel at right shows the probability Inline graphic that a mutation that causes a stability change of Inline graphic will be neutral, as given by Equation 4. The units for Inline graphic are arbitrary; for concreteness here we give them units of kcal/mol.
