Abstract :

The fundamental suggestions of the neutral theory of evolution are discussed. It is shown that the safety of the genetic code is expressed also in the thermostability of proteins, i.e. in their conformational mobility. There is no contradiction between the mutational changes of the protein thermostability and the neutral theory. [References: 26]
