Abstract excerpt
β-glucosidase (BGL) is essential in high-temperature industrial processes, but naturally occurring enzymes often lack sufficient thermostability. Using the wild-type Bgl59 from Devosia psychrophilaas the template, we first constructed the double-cysteine mutant A153C-N213C via disulfide-bond design. Although no disulfide bond was detected, this mutant showed improved thermal stability, including a + 2.5 °C...
