Abstract excerpt
Twelve mutations were constructed to improve the thermostability of glucoamylase from Aspergillus awamori based on the results of molecular dynamics simulations. The thermal unfolding of the catalytic domain followed a putative hierarchical behavior. In addition, the unfolding of the 13 alpha-helices obeyed the random ordered mechanism, in which the alpha-helices 8, 1 and 11 unfolded more rapidly than the others....
