Abstract excerpt
This study explores the structural and functional changes associated with a low-temperature thermal transition of 2 engineered bacterial uricase mutants. Uricase has a noncovalent homotetrameric structure, with 4 active sites located at the interface of subunits. Using differential scanning calorimetry, a low-temperature transition was identified at 42°C for mutant A and at 33°C for mutant B. This transition was...
