Abstract excerpt
The size of the cavity around Ser68 of Escherichia coli ribonuclease HI was modulated by amino acid substitutions to examine the effects on the stability of the enzyme. Five mutant proteins, Ser68----Gly, Ser68----Ala, Ser68----Thr, Ser68----Val and Ser68----Leu, were constructed. Each of the mutant proteins exhibited at least 40% of the enzyme activity of the wild-type protein. The stabilities of the mutant...
