title: Mutagenesis approaches for elucidation of protein structure-function relationships.
abstract: Several mutagenesis strategies have been used to allow the identification of specific receptor-ligand interactions to support the docking of ligands within various receptor models. The strengths and limitations of each strategy are discussed in this overview. Large-scale mapping is described using deletion and chimeric receptors. Fine tuning with single residue replacements is also covered along with two-dimensional approaches.
