GENETIC SELECTION OF PROTEIN CAPABLE OF ATTACHING LIGAND BY SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION IN MICROORGANISM

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the genetic selection of proteins able to bind a ligand in microorganisms, characterised in that a protein able to bind a ligand is presented extracytoplasmically, and the signal of ligand binding is passed on by signal transduction to the biosynthetic machinery of the microorganism for expression of a detectable and/or selectable function. Also disclosed are microorganisms and replicas suitable for this method and processes for the preparation thereof.
