Abstract excerpt
In a seminal paper, Pakula and Sauer (Nature, 1990, 344, 363-364) demonstrated that the increase in side-chain hydrophobicity has a reverse relationship with protein stability. We have addressed this problem with several examples of mutants that span at different locations in protein structure based on secondary structure and solvent accessibility. We confirmed that the stability change upon single coil mutation...
