Abstract excerpt
Proteins function through interactions with other molecules. In protein engineering, scientists often engineer proteins by mutating their amino acid sequences on the protein surface to improve various physicochemical properties. "Supercharging" is a method to design proteins by mutating surface residues with charged amino acids. Previous studies demonstrated that supercharging mutations conferred better thermal...
