Saturation mutagenesis of a predicted ancestral Syk-family kinase

H. T. Hobbs, N. H. Shah, S. R. Shoemaker, J. F. Amacher, S. Marqusee, J. Kuriyan

The paper generates a bacterial-expressible Syk-family kinase via ancestral sequence reconstruction and uses deep mutational scanning to identify functional mutations.
