Abstract excerpt
Thermostability can be increased by introducing prolines at suitable sites in target proteins. In this study, we compared five thermostable alpha-glucosidases and the moderate thermostable alpha-glucosidase (TtGluA) from Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis MB4. Based on the amino acid sequence alignment, four sites (Leu152, Asn208, Lys285, and Thr430) of TtGluA were chosen for proline substitution to improve its...
