Effect of mutations involving charged residues on the stability of staphylococcal nuclease: a continuum electrostatics study.

Abstract excerpt

A continuum electrostatics model is used to calculate the relative stabilities of 117 mutants of staphylococcal nuclease (SNase) involving the mutation of a charged residue to an uncharged residue. The calculations are based on the crystallographic structure of the wild-type protein and attempt to take implicitly into account the effect of the mutations in the denatured state by assuming a linear relationship...
