Abstract excerpt
Lactose repressor (LacI) is one of the best studied prokaryotic transcriptional regulatory proteins till date. Detailed structural, biochemical and genetic studies are being carried out on LacI since four decades to understand its ligand binding properties and the basis of allosteric response. We applied directed evolution methods on LacI to generate mutants with altered allosteric properties. After testing...
