Abstract excerpt
Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was selected as a signalling scaffold protein for design of a fluorescent biosensor for bacterial endotoxin [or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)]. Virtual mutagenesis was utilized to model EGFP variants containing binding sites for LPS and lipid A (LA), the bioactive component of LPS. Cationic amphipathic sequences of five alternating basic and hydrophobic residues were...
