Abstract excerpt
Loops or unordered regions of a protein are structurally dynamic and are strongly implicated in activity, stability and proteolytic susceptibility of proteins. Diminished activity of proteins at lower temperatures is considered to be due to compromised dynamics of the protein at lower temperatures. To evolve an active mesophilic lipase (Bacillus subtilis) at low temperatures, we subjected all the loop residues (n...
