Abstract excerpt
Previously, we showed that mutants of Thermus thermophilus 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (IPMDH) each containing a residue (ancestral residue) that had been predicted to exist in a postulated common ancestor protein often have greater thermal stabilities than does the contemporary wild-type enzyme. In this study, the combined effects of multiple ancestral residues were analyzed. Two mutants, containing multiple...
