A new technique to restore the function of human derived cell surface receptors introduced into yeast

Caption

The proposed approach involves causing random mutations on human derived receptor H3R and introducing the altered genetic code into yeast cultures. This allows for the convenient screening of mutations that restore the receptor’s normal function.
