Abstract excerpt
Circular permutation of proteins is a powerful technique to explore the importance of the polypeptide secondary structure order for attaining the final three-dimensional structure. Here, we designed a circular permutation of the TEM beta-lactamase in order to produce a new domain-forming amino acid arrangement in the polypeptide sequence. Closing the normal N- and C-termini with the connecting peptide GGS and...
