Abstract excerpt
Neutral salts activate and stabilize thermolysin. We previously found that two single mutations, Asn116→Asp and Asp150→Glu, increase the activity of thermolysin. In the present study, we examined their effects on NaCl-induced activation and stabilization. In the hydrolysis of N-[3-(2-furyl)acryloyl]-glycyl-L-leucine amide, the relative activities (the ratios of the specificity constant, kcat/Km, at x M NaCl to...
