Enzymes exist as ensembles of conformations that are important for function. Tuning these populations of conformational states through mutation enables evolution toward additional activities. Here we computationally evaluate the population shifts induced by distal and active site mutations in a family of computationally designed and experimentally optimized retro-aldolases. The conformational landscape of these enzymes was significantly altered during evolution, as pre-existing catalytically act ...[more]
