Abstract excerpt
Through site-directed mutagenesis, three cysteines of human basic fibroblast growth factor (hbFGF) were replaced with serine residues, resulting in a hbFGF mutant named hbFGFSer25,69,92. The mutant with only one cysteine residue at the 87th position, whose mitogenic activity was comparable to that of wild-type hbFGF, was further coupled to polyethylene glycol with a molecular size of 5 kDa (PEG5K) via the...
