Abstract excerpt
The melting temperature (Tm) of a protein is the temperature at which half of the protein population is in a folded state. Therefore, Tm is a measure of the thermostability of a protein. Increasing the Tm of a protein is a critical goal in biotechnology and biomedicine. However, predicting the change in melting temperature (dTm) due to mutations at a single residue is difficult because it depends on an intricate...
