Abstract excerpt
The only histidine residue in the H31N-H137N double mutant of phage lambda lysozyme (lambdaL), at position 48, was biosynthetically replaced by the analogue 1,2,4-triazole-3-alanine (Taz), the basicity of which is 3 pKa units lower. A histidine-auxotrophic strain was grown to stationary phase by histidine limitation in a synthetic medium, then Taz was added on induction to produce a lysozyme with approximately...
