Abstract excerpt
Nearly 65% of the surface of a lipase, from Bacillus subtilis, is occupied by the loops. Since the loops are dynamic components of a protein, located on the surface and are tolerant to substitutions, we subjected all 91 amino acids of the loops to site saturation mutagenesis to identify mutations that improve the stability and activity of lipase in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Based on a novel screening system, we...
