Protein engineering of conger eel galectins by tracing of molecular evolution using probable ancestral mutants

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Conger eel galectins, congerin I (ConI) and congerin II (ConII), show the different molecular characteristics resulting from accelerating evolution. We recently reconstructed a probable ancestral form of congerins, Con-anc. It showed...
