Abstract excerpt
In order to elucidate the mechanism of interaction between human epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor, selected variants of EGF, differing by single amino acid substitutions, have been made by site-directed mutagenesis. The receptor affinity of these mutants was determined by a receptor binding competition assay, and the effects of the substitution on the structure of the protein were assessed by 1H...
