Abstract excerpt
Membrane proteins are generally challenging to work with because of their notorious instability. Protein engineering has been used increasingly to thermostabilize labile membrane proteins such as G-protein-coupled receptors for structural and functional studies in recent years. Two major strategies exist. Scanning mutagenesis systematically eliminates destabilizing residues, whereas the consensus approach...
