Increasing Affinity of Interferon-γ Receptor 1 to Interferon-γ by Computer-Aided Design
We describe a computer-based protocol to design protein mutations increasing binding affinity between ligand and its receptor. The method was applied to mutate interferon-γ receptor 1 (IFN-γ-Rx) to increase its affinity to natural ligand IFN-γ, protein important for innate immunity. We analyzed all...
