Abstract excerpt
Based on sequence alignments and homology modeling, Gly 312 and Lys 436 of the maltogenic amylase from Bacillus sp. US149 (MAUS149) were selected as targets for site-directed mutagenesis to improve the thermostability of the enzyme. Variants of MAUS149 with amino acid substitutions G312A, K436R and G312A-K436R had substrate specificities, kinetic parameters and pH optima similar to those of the wild-type enzyme;...
