Abstract excerpt
Random mutant libraries with substitutions at the interface between the N- and C-terminal helices of Saccharomyces cerevisiae iso-1-cytochrome c were screened. All residue combinations that have been identified in naturally occurring cytochrome c sequences are found in the libraries. Mutants with these combinations are biologically functional. Enthalpies, heat capacities, and midpoint temperatures of denaturation...
