Abstract excerpt
Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to study how protein solution structure and dynamics are affected by adaptation to high temperature. Simulations were carried out on a para-nitrobenzyl esterase (484 residues) and two thermostable variants that were generated by laboratory evolution. Although these variants display much higher melting temperatures than wild-type (up to 18 degrees C higher) they are...
