Mutein

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A mutein is a mutant protein, with an altered amino acid sequence that differs from that of the original wild-type protein.[1] The word is a portmanteau of mutate + protein. A mutein can also be imagined as a protein that results from the translation of a mutated nucleic acid sequence.[2]
