Abstract excerpt
Combinatorial mutant libraries of the single-chain 434 repressor were used to discover novel DNA-binding specificities. Members of the library contain one wild type domain and one mutant domain which are connected by a recombinant peptide linker. The mutant domain contains randomized amino acids in place of the DNA-contacting residues. The single-chain derivatives are expected to recognize artificial operators...
