  • Method for modifying a property of a protein
    Publication number: 20050233308
    Abstract: A property of a protein is modified by the following steps: (a) selecting 1000 or more genes from the genome of a first microorganism, and selecting 1000 or more genes from the genome of a second microorganism, wherein the genes from the first microorganism are orthologs to the genes from the second microorganism, and wherein the second microorganism is closely related to the first microorganism, but grows differently under at least one optimum growth condition when compared with the first microorganism, (b) comparing an amino acid sequence encoded by a gene from the first microorganism to an amino acid sequence encoded by the orthologous gene from the second microorganism, (c) detecting substitutions between the amino acid sequence encoded by a gene from the first microorganism and the amino acid sequence encoded by a gene from the second microorganism for each pair of orthologous genes, (d) compiling the detected amino acid substitutions for each amino acid substitution type, (e) calculating the frequency o
