Mutein

Last updated

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]
