Abstract excerpt
Hen lysozyme, with three alpha-helices (A, B, and C), is a c-type lysozyme. In these lysozymes, Ser24 and Asp88 located at the N-cap position in the B- and C-helix, respectively, are mostly conserved, but residue 4 at the N-cap position in A-helix is variable. To investigate the effect of mutation at position 4 on the stability of hen lysozyme, we prepared five mutant lysozymes and examined their stabilities and...
