Abstract excerpt
We report a rapid and reliable 2-tier selection and screen for detection of activity as well as drug-resistance in mutated variants of a clinically-relevant drug-target enzyme. Human dihydrofolate reductase point-mutant libraries were subjected to a 1st-tier bacterial complementation assay, such that bacterial propagation served as an indicator of enzyme activity. Alternatively, when selection was performed in...
