Abstract excerpt
The enhancement of protein thermostability is an important issue for both basic science and biotechnology purposes. We have developed a thermostability criterion for a protein in terms of a quasi-electric dipole moment (contributed by its charged residues) defined for an electric charge distribution whose total charge is not zero. It was found that minimization of the modulus of this dipole moment increased its...
