Abstract excerpt
A scanning mutagenesis experiment was performed on human O(6)-methylguanine methyltransferase (hMGMT), directed largely at non-conserved surface residues that have not previously been studied. Variants typically contained two or more substitutions. Two of the 16 variants characterized in detail are inactive for methyltransfer, but increase the cytotoxicity and mutagenic effects of methylating agents. This...
