Abstract
Site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) as described here is used to introduce a mutation in the sequence of a plasmid of interest by PCR-based methods. Several different approaches have been previously reported, and also the generation of multiple mutations in a single step is possible. This protocol deals with the simplest version of SDM for production of a small mutation at a single position of a plasmid, e.g. for generation of a protein variant or elimination of a restriction site.
