Abstract excerpt
Discrimination between allowed and disallowed amino acid substitutions provides a powerful method for analysis of protein structure and function. Site-directed mutagenesis allows specific hypotheses to be tested, but its systematic application to entire structural motifs is inefficient. This limi...
