Structural studies on the authentic mumps virus nucleocapsid showing uncoiling by the phosphoprotein.

abstract：:Molecular adaptation is typically assumed to proceed by sequential fixation of beneficial mutations. In diploids, this picture presupposes that for most adaptive mutations, the homozygotes have a higher fitness than the heterozygotes. Here, we show that contrary to this expectation, a substantial proportion of adaptiv...
