  • In an effort to increase the proportion of these proteins that fold into an ATP-binding conformation, we mutagenized the library and carried out further rounds of in vitro selection and amplification.

    A Disclaimer for Behe? 2009

  • If someone studied the ability of, say, the human microcephalin gene to generate resistance to penicillin in S. aureus, and found that it never did even when extensively mutagenized, only a fool would conclude that this means that S. aureus is incapable of developing resistance to penicillin.

  • Here we show, on the basis of comparative analysis of two extensively mutagenized ribozymes, that with a copying fidelity of 0.999 per digit per replication the phenotypic error threshold rises well above 7,000 nucleotides, which permits the selective maintenance of a functionally rich riboorganism with a genome of more than 100 different genes, the size of a tRNA.

  • Corresponding residues in PknJ were mutagenized to create double mutant T171A/T173A along with single mutants T168A, S172A and T179A and were compared with wild type protein.

  • Thus, mutagenized UbiA amino acids that resulted in loss of function aligned to UBIAD1 residues mutated in SCD.
