Abstract excerpt
Identifying the factors that govern the thermal resistance of cupredoxins is essential for understanding their folding and stability, and for improving our ability to design highly stable enzymes with potential biotechnological applications. Here, we show that the thermal unfolding of plastocyanins from two cyanobacteria--the mesophilic Synechocystis and the thermophilic Phormidium--is closely related to the...
