Multi-functionality does not favor large protein size. Comparing quantitative phenotypes of S. cerevisiae deletion strains [27] and protein size A-C) average number of significant (p < 0.001) phenotypes (LPI) in different size categories; data represent all viable deletion strains cultivated in five different conditions (see Material and methods) D-F) number of significant (p < 0.001) phenotypes (LPI) versus protein size for 96 deletion strains cultivated in 36 different conditions (see Material and methods), linear correlation r2 indicated A, D) adaptation time B, E) growth rate C, F) growth efficiency.
