Broad Purpose Vector for Site-Directed Insertional Mutagenesis in Bifidobacterium breve
Members of the genus Bifidobacterium are notoriously recalcitrant to genetic manipulation due to their extensive and variable repertoire of Restriction-Modification (R-M) systems.

Site directed mutagenesis of L-pyrrolysine in dimethylamine methyltransferase [PDF]
Methanosarcina barkeri is an archaeon and is able to use methylamines as growth substrates for methanogenesis. The methylamine methyltransferases that are involved in initiating methanogenesis from the methylamines have an in-frame amber codon (UAG) that

Structural modeling and functional analysis of the essential ribosomal processing protease Prp from Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
In Firmicutes and related bacteria, ribosomal large subunit protein L27 is encoded with a conserved N-terminal extension that is removed to expose residues critical for ribosome function. Bacteria encoding L27 with this N-terminal extension also encode a

High-throughput Site-directed Scanning Mutagenesis Using a Two-fragment PCR Approach
Site-directed scanning mutagenesis is a useful tool applied in studying protein function and designing proteins with new properties, such as increased stability or enzymatic activity. Creating a systematic library of hundreds of site-directed mutants is

Efficient method for site-directed mutagenesis in large plasmids without subcloning. [PDF]
Commonly used methods for site-directed DNA mutagenesis require copying the entire target plasmid. These methods allow relatively easy modification of DNA sequences in small plasmids but become less efficient and faithful for large plasmids ...
