Abstract excerpt
We used site-directed mutagenesis to construct 55 single-site variants of rhPTH, a recombinantly-expressed form of human parathyroid hormone (1-34) containing three amino acid changes compared to the natural sequence (ML8, ML18 and FY34). We identified several mutations, at residues Lys(13), Glu(19), Val(21), Glu(22), Lys(27) and Asp(30), that increase biological activity by up to 2. 5-fold, as measured by...
