A site-directed mutagenesis method particularly useful for creating otherwise difficult-to-make mutants and alanine scanning.

Abstract excerpt

Site-directed mutagenesis has become routine in molecular biology. However, many mutants can still be very difficult to create. Complicated chimerical mutations, tandem repeats, inverted sequences, GC-rich regions, and/or heavy secondary structures can cause inefficient or incorrect binding of the mutagenic primer to the target sequence and affect the subsequent amplification. In theory, these problems can be...
