Abstract excerpt
Ile58 of hen egg-white lysozyme (HEL) is buried in the interior of the molecule and is considered to participate in sugar residue binding at subsite C through hydrophobic interaction. The contribution of Ile58 to lysozyme function and stability was investigated by replacement of Ile58 with less hydrophobic residues, Val (I58V) and Ala (I58A). Replacement of Ile58 with Ala decreased substrate binding ability to an...
