摘要:
Novel carbonyl hydrolase mutants derived from the DNA sequences of naturally-occurring or recombinant non-human carbonyl hydrolases. The mutant carbonyl hydrolases, in general, are obtained by in vitro modification of a precursor DNA sequence encoding the naturally-occurring or recombinant carbonyl hydrolase to encode the substitution of an amino acid in the amino acid sequence of a precursor carbonyl hydrolase. Such mutants have properties which are different than the precursor hydrolase.
摘要:
There are described methods for making mutant subtilisins, the methods comprising obtaining a DNA fragment from a Bacillus subtilisin and introducing a mutation into the fragment by substituting at least one amino acid, transforming a suitable host cell with the mutated DNA, recovering a mutant subtilisin and screening the mutant subtilisin for certain altered enzymatic properties.
摘要:
Recombinant host bacteria and plasmids for making the bacteria using recombinant DNA techniques are described. The plasmids contain DNA coding for subtilisin with an amino acid substitution. Expression of the plasmid DNA results in production of a modified subtilisin.
摘要:
There are provided methods for making a mutant Bacillus subtilisin having altered oxidative stability, the methods comprising obtaining DNA fragment consisting of a region coding for a Bacillus subtilisin, and introducing a mutation into said DNA fragment such that the mutation is introduced in a region encoding a methionine, tryptophan, cysteine or lysine, sensitive to oxidation, such that upon expression of the mutant subtilisin one or more codon regions encoding for methionine, tryptophan, cysteine or lysine is replaced with an amino acid other than methionine, tryptophan, cysteine or lysine, preferably alanine or serine.
摘要:
A cloned subtilsin gene has been modified at specific sites to cause amino acid substitutions at certain spots in the enzyme. The modified enzyme, preferably produced by Bacillus, is useful in combination with detergents.

This invention provides general methods for selective labeling of proteins on their N-termini with synthetic peptides. The methods of this invention can be applied to the global proteomic profiling of complex mixtures of proteins and polypeptides.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for generating antibodies to specific conformations of proteins. The conformation specific antibodies of the invention can be put to a variety of uses including diagnosis and treatment of diseases and for screening for compounds that induce conformational changes in proteins upon binding.
