Abstract excerpt
Triosephosphate isomerase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (wt-TIM) is an obligated homodimer. The interface of wt-TIM is formed by 34 residues. In the native dimer, each monomer buries nearly 2600 A(2) of accessible surface area (ASA), and 58.4% of the interface ASA is hydrophobic. We determined the thermodynamic and functional consequences of increasing the hydrophobic character of the wt-TIM interface. Mutations...
