Combining rational and random strategies in β-glucosidase Zm-p60.1 protein library construction. [PDF]
Saturation mutagenesis is a cornerstone technique in protein engineering because of its utility (in conjunction with appropriate analytical techniques) for assessing effects of varying residues at selected positions on proteins' structures and functions.

REMP software to introduce a screening REstriction site in site-directed Mutagenesis Primer
Insertion of silent mutations allowing for restriction site modification aids in the screening of successful mutants during site directed mutagenesis. Introducing a new restriction site requires the analysis of degenerate sequences within mutant primer ...

Long-range electron transfer in structurally engineered pentaammineruthenium (histidine-62) cytochrome c [PDF]
In many biological processes, long-range electron transfer (ET) plays a key role. When the three-dimensional structures of proteins are accurately known, use of modified proteins and protein-protein complexes provides an experimental approach to study ET
