“…At the completion of this study, we conclude that whole‐protein alanine‐scanning mutagenesis is a useful tool to identify protein residues that potentially contribute to allosteric mechanisms. In particular, this probing approach is likely to be complementary to the protein backbone monitoring offered by hydrogen/deuterium exchange (Beckett, ; Frantom, Zhang, Emmett, Marshall, & Blanchard, ; Landgraf et al., ; Prasannan et al., ; Song, Olsen, Persson, & Rand, ; Underbakke et al., ). This independent method will also be beneficial to guide structural comparisons to focus on which regions of a protein might experience allosterically relevant conformational and/or dynamic changes.…”
