Abstract excerpt
Three simple mutants, S80T, S146T, and S149T, and a double mutant, S80T-S149T, were constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli to replace Serine on the surface of the Trichoderma reesei xylanase protein with Threonine residues. While the Wild-type (WT) xylanase showed a half-life time (t1/2) of 20 min at 55 °C, the double mutant was more thermostable exhibiting a t1/2 value of 37 min, followed by the S80T and...
