Rational molecular design & site-directed mutagenesis
rational molecular design
concept
On the basis of the known three-dimensional structure and function of a protein, targeted mutations are carried out on a gene sequence that is most likely to affect the function and properties of the protein, and one or two amino acid residues or modules of the protein are purposefully changed to construct a new protein molecule. .
The basic steps
Isolate and purify the target protein, crystallize it, and learn as much information as possible about its spatial structure.
Determine its functional domain.
Analyze the interrelationship between structure & function and find out the key structure & groups.
Focusing on these key groups & structures → propose a plan to modify the protein & use genetic engineering methods (sited mutation) → implement it.
For modified proteins → functional assay, site-directed mutagenesis.
Positioned mutagenesis
concept
According to the rational molecular design scheme → the DNA sequence encoding the protein is known → substitution, insertion or deletion: the selected nucleotide.
Commonly used techniques
Oligonucleotide primer-mediated site-directed mutagenesis
principle
Oligonucleotide fragment containing mutated base → Primer → Polymerase action → Start DNA molecule → Replication

Kunkel mutation method
Antibiotic-based “resistance recovery” mutation method

shortcoming

Cloning of the gene to be mutated will be restricted by restriction enzyme sites
PCR-mediated site-directed mutagenesis
principle
PCR → insertion & deletion of mutated bases → primers → two pairs of primers → nucleic acids: PCR amplification → overlapping extension → two PCR products with partially overlapping sequences → mixing, denaturation, renaturation and chain extension → one pair and two Complementary primers on the outside of the fragment to be spliced → second amplification → full-length heterologous hybrid double-stranded DNA.
