Abstract excerpt
The ligation of two polypeptides in a chemoselective manner by the bacterial transpeptidase sortase A has become a versatile tool for protein engineering approaches. When sortase-mediated ligation is used for protein semisynthesis, up to four mutations resulting from the strict requirement of the LPxTG sorting motif are introduced into the target protein. Here we report the directed evolution of a mutant sortase...
