Abstract excerpt
The poor stability of membrane proteins in detergent solution is one of the main technical barriers to their structural and functional characterization. Here we describe a solution to this problem for diacylglycerol kinase (DGK), an integral membrane protein from Escherichia coli. Twelve enhanced stability mutants of DGK were obtained using a simple screen. Four of the mutations were combined to create a...
