In an attempt to increase the thermostability of the neutral proteinase of Bacillus stearothermophilus the buried Ala-170 was replaced by serine. Molecular-dynamics simulations showed that Ser-170 stabilizes the enzyme by formation of an internal hydrogen bond. In addition, the hydroxy group of Ser-170 could contribute to stability by filling an internal cavity. After the introduction of the mutation, using site-directed-mutagenesis techniques, an increase in stability of 0.7 +/- 0.1 degrees C was obtained.
为提高嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌中性蛋白酶的热稳定性,将埋藏的丙氨酸-170替换为丝氨酸。分子动力学模拟表明,丝氨酸-170通过形成分子内氢键使酶稳定。此外,丝氨酸-170的羟基可通过填充内部空腔来提高稳定性。利用定点诱变技术引入突变后,稳定性提高了0.7±0.1摄氏度。
