Abstract excerpt
The autodegradation-resistant mutant thermolysins (TLNs), L155A (Leu(155) to Ala) and L155S (Leu(155) to Ser), were previously constructed by site-directed mutagenesis to enhance thermostability. These mutations suppressed autodegradation at position 154-155, resulting in increased thermostability. However, a new autodegradation site became apparent in these mutant TLNs, at position 155-156. In this study,...
