Abstract excerpt
Wild-type Proteinase K binds to two Ca2+ ions, which play an important role in regulating enzymaticactivity and maintaining protein stability. Therefore, a predetermined concentration of Ca2+ must be added during the use of Proteinase K, which increases its commercial cost. Herein, we addressed this challenge using a computational strategy to engineer a Proteinase K mutant that does not require Ca2+ and exhibits...
