The role of phenylalanine 31 in maintaining the conformational stability of ribonuclease P2 from Sulfolobus solfataricus under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure.

Abstract excerpt

Ribonuclease P2 from the thermophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus solfataricus is a small protein (7 kDa) with a known three-dimensional structure. Inspection of the structure and molecular dynamics simulation reveal that three aromatic residues (Phe5, Phe31, and Tyr33) from the hydrophobic core h...
