Understanding and increasing protein stability.

Abstract excerpt

This review surveys the processes leading to loss of protein function and the types of molecular interaction that help stabilize proteins. It considers the effects of organic solvents on stability and the special features of thermophilic proteins. The deliberate manipulation of stability by protein engineering is discussed using the enzyme subtilisin as example. Both random and rational mutations of this protein...
