Abstract
The invention relates to serine protease variants derived from precursor serine proteases via recombinant and/or chemical methods to form protease variants having improved peptide ligase activity. The invention also includes novel ligation substrates which in combination with the serine protease variants and a second ligation substrate are capable of forming a ligation product. The invention also relates to methods for forming such ligation products and the products formed thereby.
