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 limitation may be overcome by genetic selection, which allows rapid scoring of thousands of randomly (or pseudorandomly)...
