Abstract excerpt
Asparagine deamidation is one of the important determinants of protein thermostability. Here, structure based mutagenesis has been done in order to probe the role of Asn residues in thermostability of a Ca independent Bacillus sp. KR-8104 α-amylase (BKA). Residues involved in potential deamidation processes have been selected and replaced using a site directed mutagenesis. Fourteen different variants were tested...
