Abstract excerpt
Sso7d is a 62-residue protein from the hyperthemophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus with a denaturation temperature close to 100 degrees C around neutral pH. An engineered form of Sso7d truncated at leucine 54 (L54Delta) is significantly less stable, with a denaturation temperature of 53 degrees C. Molecular dynamics (MD) studies of Sso7d and its truncated form at two different temperatures have been...
