Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutagenesis of human pancreatic RNase (HP-RNase) was used as a model system for investigating the genetic events underlying the evolutionary origins of protein oligomers. HP-RNase is a monomeric enzyme with no natural tendency to oligomerize (K(d) for any dimers in solution of >280 mM). Nevertheless, deletion of five amino acid residues in the loop linking the N-terminal helix of HP-RNase to the...
