Abstract excerpt
The stability properties of six natural mutants of the TEM-1 beta-lactamase have been studied. The glutamate to lysine substitution at positions 104 and 240 stabilize the enzyme. Conversely, the G238S mutant's decreased stability might reflect an altered conformation of the active site and thus be related to the modified substrate profile. The relative stability of the R164S and R164H mutants is explained by the...
