<p>A mutein of an enzyme acceptor polypeptide fragment of β-galactosidase which is resistant to oxidation is provided. The enzyme acceptor fragment has an amino acid other than cysteine located at position 602 of the natural sequence. An especially preferred substitution is serine. Also provided are a method for producing the novel mutein, a reagent composition comprising the novel mutein, and an immunoassay method for determining an analyte in which the novel mutein recombines with an enzyme donor polypeptide fragment to form enzymatically active-β-galactosidase.</p> |
