Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutagenesis was used to assess the contribution of individual residues and a bound calcium in the 55-69 region of the thermolysin-like protease of Bacillus stearothermophilus (TLP-ste) to thermal stability. The importance of the 55-69 region was reflected by finding that almost all mutations had drastic effects on stability. These effects (both stabilizing and destabilizing) were obtained by...
