The functional mutational landscape of the lacZ gene
Summary: The lacZ gene of Escherichia coli encodes β-galactosidase (β-gal), a lactose metabolism enzyme of the lactose operon. Previous chemical modification or site-directed mutagenesis experiments have identified 21 amino acids that are essential for β-gal catalytic activity. We have assembled ove...
