Abstract excerpt
A recombinant alpha 1-antitrypsin variant which increased thermal stability was obtained from random mutagenesis followed by screening. The clone was identified as having a single mutation of Phe51-->Cys. Heat deactivation of purified recombinant alpha 1-antitrypsin produced in Escherichia coli r...
