Abstract excerpt
It has been lately proposed that the interaction between like-charged residues stabilizes the native state of proteins. To explore this, we created a histidine-histidine pair in the Ca-III binding site of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens α-amylase (BAA) and then examined the impact of this pairing on the BAA. For this purpose, we used site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) to substitute Pro407 with His, Ala, Gln, Arg, and...
