Abstract excerpt
Efforts to design proteins with greatly reduced sequence diversity have often resulted in proteins with so-called molten globule properties. Substitutions were made at six neighboring sites in the major hydrophobic core of staphylococcal nuclease to create variants with all leucine, all isoleucine or all valine at these sites. The mutant proteins with simplified cores constructed here are quite unstable and have...
