Abstract excerpt
A prerequisite for the rational redesign of enzymes is that altering amino acids in an attempt to obtain new biological function does not unexpectedly alter the globular, natural framework of the native protein on which the design is being executed. The results of combinatorial-mutagenesis strate...
