Abstract excerpt
3-Isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (IPMDH) is a dimeric enzyme with a strongly hydrophobic core that is composed of residues from four alpha-helices. We replaced Glu253, which is found in the hydrophobic core and is part of the subunit interface of the Bacillus subtilis (Bs) IPMDH, with several other amino acids to probe. The thermostabilities of the mutants were assessed by measuring the residual enzymatic...
