Abstract excerpt
Specific and saturation site-directed mutageneses have been used to alter each polar residue within 6 A of the catalytic center of glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase (EC 2.1.2.2). These mutants were rapidly screened for catalytic activity using functional complementation of auxotrophic cells. This screen allows a rapid qualitative estimate of enzyme activity for each of these mutants. These results have...
