Abstract excerpt
Alkali proteases are crucial in numerous industries, especially in the laundry industry, but their inactivation by surfactants limits their effectiveness. This study employed substrate access tunnel engineering to improve the performance of WT bcPRO in surfactants. By modifying the key residues in the substrate pocket, the best variant N212S showed higher stability and activity in both AES and LAS. Molecular...
