Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the tryptophan-binding site of the trp repressor have been generated using site-directed mutagenesis. The selection of sites for alteration was based on the three-dimensional x-ray crystallographic structure (Schevitz, R. W., Otwinowski, Z., Joachimiak, A., Lawson, C. L., and Sigler, P. B. (1985) Nature 317, 782-786). The changes generated include Thr-44 to Ala (T44A), Arg-54 to Leu (R54L), Arg-54 to...
