Quantitative characterization of all single amino acid variants of a viral capsid-based drug delivery vehicle

Self-assembling proteins have important applications in industrial technologies, but it is difficult to predict how mutations affect assembly. Here the authors present SyMAPS, coupling comprehensive codon mutagenesis with high-throughput sequencing, and apply it to bacteriophage capsid protein.
