Replacing the isoleucine at amino-acid position three of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme causes changes in the thermodynamic stability of the protein that are directly related to the hydrophobicity of the substituted residue. Structural analysis confirms that the hydrophobic stabilization is proportional to the reduction of the surface area accessible to solvent on folding.
替换噬菌体T4溶菌酶氨基酸位置3处的异亮氨酸会导致该蛋白质热力学稳定性发生变化,这种变化与被取代残基的疏水性直接相关。结构分析证实,疏水稳定性与折叠时溶剂可及表面积的减少成正比。
