mutagenesis
Usage Examples
Preposition: of
- protein: Site-directed mutagenesis of the proteins can be used to identify amino acids that are important in appropriate targeting in health and disease.
Converse of object
- direct: Site directed mutagenesis has been used to generate such mutants.
- use: We use site-directed mutagenesis to couple this information to structural features of the proteins.
- clon: Cloning, mutagenesis and expression The domains were amplified from cDNA using polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ).
- induce: Our present study clearly demonstrates that anticancer chemotherapy can induce mutagenesis in vivo in various pediatric cancer patients.
Adjective modifier
- site-directed: We use site-directed mutagenesis to couple this information to structural features of the proteins.
- insertional: A schematic illustration of insertional mutagenesis with one of our gene trap vectors.
- random: We are using molecular genetic approaches, in particular random mutagenesis, to analyze fungal genes involved in the disease process.
- targeted: A ' marker switch ' approach for targeted mutagenesis of genes in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
- conventional: For this we are using molecular modeling to investigate docking of the novel compounds, as well as conventional mutagenesis and expression techniques.
Modifies a noun
- experiment: The structural information is being used to guide rational mutagenesis experiments coupled with biochemical studies to understand better the functioning of the enzyme.
- screen: This tool provides the basis for an ongoing mutagenesis mosaic screen.
- study: By coupling this technique to mutagenesis studies, we are able to determine the actual sites of phosphorylation chosen by specific kinases.
- program: The goal of the mutagenesis programs is the production of mouse models of inherited human disease.
- strategy: The insertion mutagenesis strategy was co-ordinated with acquisition of the DNA sequence of the PAI.
- datum: The results of the simulation with a flexible ligand are in good agreement with current NMR data and site-directed mutagenesis data.
Noun used with modifier
- transposon: The mutants were generated by random transposon mutagenesis with the Tn pho A transposon.
- insertion: The insertion mutagenesis strategy was co-ordinated with acquisition of the DNA sequence of the PAI.
- vitro: The theory and application of in vitro mutagenesis, transgenic animals, and DNA fingerprinting.
- saturation: Using this technique in combination with another mutagenesis method called saturation mutagenesis the ee value has been improved to more than 90 per cent.
