Computational prediction of the tolerance to amino-acid deletion in green-fluorescent protein

The paper predicts eGFP's tolerance to amino-acid deletions using structural properties, finding that weighted contact number is the best single predictor.

Relationship between protein thermodynamic constraints and variation of evolutionary rates among sites

The paper develops a biophysical model linking protein thermodynamic stability to evolutionary rate variation and finds it performs comparably to an alternative stress model.

Predicting evolutionary site variability from structure in viral proteins: buriedness, packing, flexibility, and design

The paper evaluates how structural properties predict evolutionary sequence variation in viral proteins and finds that buriedness and packing density are better predictors than flexibility or design-based measures.
