Abstract excerpt
A mutational study of the peptide corresponding to the second hairpin of the protein G B1 domain (GB1p) provided a series of mutants with significantly increased fold stability. Mutations focused on improvement of the direction-reversing loop and the addition of favorable Coulombic interactions at the sequence termini. The loop optimization was based on a database search for residues that occur with the greatest...
