Abstract excerpt
Improving enzyme stability in the presence of organic solvent is crucial for non-aqueous catalysis. In this study, directed evolution was applied to improve the tolerance of metalloprotease PT121 towards organic solvent. In presence of acetonitrile and acetone, three mutants (T46Y, H224 F, and H224Y) of PT121 showed excellent solvent stability, which increased their half-lives by 1.2-3.5-fold as compared to the...
