Connecting conformational dynamics and epistasis has so far been limited to a few proteins and a single fitness trait. Here, the authors provide evidence of positive epistasis on multiple catalytic traits in the evolution and dynamics of engineered cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, offering insights for in silico protein design.
