Figure 2. Stability distributions and fixation probabilities.
The panel at left show the probability
that a protein in an evolving population will have
extra stability
, as given by Equation 3. The panel at right shows the
probability
that a mutation that causes a stability change of
will be neutral, as given by Equation 4. The units for
are arbitrary; for concreteness here we give them
units of kcal/mol.
