Abstract excerpt
Accurate prediction of electrostatic effects on catalytic activity is an essential component of protein design. Site-directed mutagenesis of charged groups in subtilisin of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens has provided experimental measurements of electrostatic interactions which may be used to test such theoretical methods. The pKa of the histidine of the active site has been perturbed by +0.08 to -1.0 units by...
