The Effects of Mutants on Protein Structure and Function

Each one of those proteins that you create and put into these 1500 little, little tiny, teensy tiny beakers, every one of those is slightly different. And therefore they may have a slightly different structure and a slightly or very different function. So we started with an alkaline phosphase super family member called Paffet. There was nothing particularly interesting about this protein when it started except for that it was going to be really easy to study in the platform. It takes a reaction that takes longer than the lifetime of the universe and it catalyzes it.
