Abstract excerpt
Engineering of alternative binding sites on the surface of an enzyme while preserving the enzymatic activity would offer new opportunities for controlling the activity by binding of non-natural ligands. Loops and turns are the natural substructures in which binding sites might be engineered with this purpose. We have genetically inserted random peptide sequences into three relatively rigid and contiguous loops of...
