Abstract excerpt
We recently developed a physics-based method for identifying thermostabilizing mutations of a membrane protein. The method uses a free-energy function F where the importance of translational entropy of hydrocarbon groups within the lipid bilayer is emphasized. All of the possible mutations can rapidly be examined. The method was illustrated for the adenosine A2a receptor (A2a R) whose three-dimensional (3D)...
