Abstract excerpt
Disulfide bonds are known to be crucial for protein stability. To probe the contribution of each of the five disulfide bonds (C9-C31, C30-C70, C37-C63, C61-C95, and C105-C113) in bee venom phospholipase A(2) to stability, variants with deleted disulfide bonds were produced by substituting two serine residues for each pair of cysteine residues. The mutations started from the pseudo-wild-type variant (pWT) with the...
