Cumulative distributions of fitness effects for three different fitness landscapes. Comparison of the cumulative probability distributions (CPF) of beneficial (B-curves) and deleterious (D-curves) effects of mutations in fitness for different fitness landscapes: S signals selection on structure; S + Q represents selection on structure and sequence; S + E stands for selection on structure and energy of the folded state. The mutation rate is μ = 0.003 in all cases and all populations are optimized: they have attained mutation-selection equilibrium.
