Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to improve the stability of β-1,3-1,4-glucanase by substituting hydrophobic residue for specific amino acid. The results indicated that the catalytic efficiency, thermostability and halostability were enhanced simultaneously by replacement of Lys48 with Ala (K48A) or Leu (K48L). Comparison of kinetic parameters revealed that catalytic efficiency of mutants is enhanced as a result of the...
