Abstract excerpt
Proteinase K (PROK) from Parengyodontium album hydrolyzes keratin, a major protein component of poultry feathers, which are an inexpensive and renewable protein resource. Based on structural studies for analysis of amino acid flexibility near the catalytic center, identification of highly conserved residues, and experimental screening, we obtained a mutant R218S with residual activity 1.6-fold higher than that of...
