Abstract excerpt
To find a disulfide pair that could stabilize the enzyme human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II), we grafted the disulfide bridge from the related and unusually stable carbonic anhydrase form from Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NGCA) into the human enzyme. Thus, the two Cys residues at positions 23 and 203 were engineered into a pseudo-wild-type form of HCA II (C206S), giving the mutant C206S/A23C/L203C. The disulfide bond...
