RecA protein mutants and RecA homolog protein mutants which contain one or more mutations in the MAW motif are presented. The mutants rely on replacement of wildtype amino acid residues in the MAW motif with specific replacement residues to alter the three-dimensional structure of the MAW motif and to...http://www.google.co.uk/patents/US7294494?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7294494 - Nucleic acids encoding mutants of MAW motifs of RecA protein homologs
