Abstract excerpt
Homologous mammalian proteins were subjected to an exhaustive search for residues that are critical to their structure/function. Error-prone polymerase chain reactions were used to generate random mutations in the genes of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase A) and human angiogenin, and a genetic selection based on the intrinsic cytotoxicity of ribonucleolytic activity was used to isolate inactive variants....
