Abstract excerpt
A mutational strategy is presented that allowed us to identify hormone-binding determinants in the extracellular portion of the human growth hormone receptor (hGHbp), a 238-residue protein with sequence homology to a number of cytokine receptors. By systematically replacing side chains with alanine we probed the importance of charged residues (49 total, typically located on the surface), aromatic residues (9...
