Abstract excerpt
Tryptophan residues in chitosanase from Streptomyces sp. N174 (Trp28, Trp101, and Trp227) were mutated to phenylalanine, and thermal unfolding experiments of the proteins were done in order to investigate the role of tryptophan residues in thermal stability. Four types of mutants (W28F, W101F, W227F and W28F/W101F) were produced in sufficient quantity in our expression system using Streptomyces lividans TK24....
