Abstract excerpt
Using the information from the genome projects, recent comparative studies of thermostable proteins have revealed a certain trend of amino acid composition in which polar residues are scarce and charged residues are rich on the protein surface. To clarify experimentally the effect of the amino acid composition of surface residues on the thermostability of Escherichia coli Ribonuclease HI (RNase HI), we...
