The oligonucleotide primers for PCR

6BICH002W Coursework Part 2 – designing oligonucleotide primers for PCR and site-directed mutagenesis / DNA sequences.

Shown below is a typical L-Glutamate Binding Domain (GBD) protein sequence (underlined). This binding domain occurs as part of a larger receptor protein subunit sequence (not fully shown). The key L-glutamate interacting residues are highlighted. The L-Glutamate Binding Domain (underlined) has been engineered to be expressed as an independent, soluble protein for crystallisation studies (see Figure 1).

GBD structure
Residues critical for the binding ot L-Glutamate to GBD are highlighed in yellow in the above protein sequence and are shown highlighted in the coresponding motifs below:
R-E-x-V-[I,V]-D-F
G-[S,A]-T-x(2)-F-F
A-[Y,F]-L-x-E-[S,A]-[T,A]
