Abstract excerpt
alpha-Lactalbumins and the type-c lysozymes are homologues with similar folds that differ in function and stability. To determine if the lower stability of alpha-lactalbumin results from specific substitutions required for its adaptation to a new function, the effects of lysozyme-based and other substitutions on thermal stability were determined. Unblocking the upper cleft in alpha-lactalbumin by replacing Tyr103...
