Figure 10. Negative correlation between misfolding and unfolding stability.

Figure 10

Upper plot: Simulation results for average misfolding stability Inline graphic versus unfolding stability Inline graphic for various mutation biases, three population sizes and neutrality exponent Inline graphic (non-neutral regime) and Inline graphic (neutral regime). Bottom plot: Estimated misfolding versus unfolding stability for families of homologous proteins in prokaryotic genomes (data from Ref. [12]). We distinguish genomes according to Inline graphic content at third codon position. The solid line represents a linear fit of misfolding stability for genomes with moderate or no mutation bias (Inline graphic).
