Abstract excerpt
Mutations that cover the sequence of Bacillus stearothermophilus alpha-amylase were produced by an efficient in vitro enzymatic random mutagenesis method and the mutant alpha-amylases were expressed in Escherichia coli, which also secreted the product. Ninety-eight mutants were identified by sequencing and their enzyme activities were classified into three classes: wild-type, reduced or null. A molecular model of...
