Abstract excerpt
The role of glycine residues was studied by alanine-scanning mutagenesis using photoactive yellow protein, a structural prototype of PER ARNT SIM domain proteins, as a template. Mutation of glycine located close to the end of beta-strands with dihedral angles disallowed for alanine (Gly-37, Gly-59, Gly-86, and Gly-115) induces destabilization of the protein structure. On the other hand, substitution for Gly-77...
