Abstract excerpt
Low thermostability often hampers the applications of xylanases in industrial processes operated at high temperature, such as degradation of biomass or pulp bleaching. Thermostability of enzymes can be improved by the optimization of unstable residues via protein engineering. In this study, computational modeling instead of random mutagenesis was used to optimize unstable residues of Bacillus circulans xylanase...
