Abstract excerpt
The structural determinants of the primary substrate specificity of rat anionic trypsin were examined by using oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis coupled to a genetic selection. A library was created that encoded trypsins substituted at amino acid positions 189 and 190 at the base of the substrate binding pocket. A genetic selection, with a dynamic range of 5 orders of proteolytic activity, was used to search...
