Abstract excerpt
Avidins represent an interesting group of proteins showing high structural similarity and ligand-binding properties but low similarity in primary structure. In this study, we show that it is possible to create functional chimeric proteins from the avidin protein family when applying DNA family shuffling to the genes of the avidin protein family: avidin, avidin related gene 2 and biotin-binding protein A. The...
