Abstract excerpt
Saturation mutagenesis of proteins, in which an amino acid at a specific site is substituted with each of the other 19 amino acids, is a powerful method for protein analysis and engineering. However, 19 mutated genes have to be prepared to express all possible amino acid-substituted proteins at one site. We previously reported a four-base codon-mediated saturation mutagenesis method for the expression of all 20...
