Abstract excerpt
We investigated the role of W140 in the folding of Staphylococcal nuclease. For this purpose, we constructed the 19 possible substitution mutations at residue 140. Only three mutants, W140F, W140H, and W140Y, adopted native-like structures under physiological conditions and showed native-like enzymatic activities. In contrast, the other 16 mutants took on compact unfolded structures under physiological conditions...
