Abstract excerpt
Increasing protein stability is interesting for practical reasons and because it tests our understanding of protein energetics. We explore here the feasibility of stabilizing proteins by replacing underexposed polar residues by apolar ones of similar size and shape. We have compared the stability of wild-type apoflavodoxin with that of a few carefully selected mutants carrying Y → F, Q → L, T → V or K → M...
