Abstract excerpt
The efficiency and high specificity of tobacco etch virus protease (TEVp) has made it widely used for cleavage of recombinant fusion proteins. However, TEVp suffers from a few intrinsic defects such as self-cleavage, poorly expressed in E. coli and less soluble. So some mutants were designed to improve it, such as S219V, T17S/N68D/I77V and L56V/S135G etc. MD simulations for the WT TEVp and its mutants were...
