Abstract excerpt
Random mutations were introduced into the B. subtilis glutamine synthetase gene by using nitrous acid, and a high temperature-sensitive mutant was selected. DNA sequencing of the restriction fragment containing the mutation revealed a single base-pair change resulting in the substitution of Leu 318 with Phe. The mutant enzyme was purified, and its kinetic and physical properties were characterized. The...
