'''Structure of a thermostable triple mutant of Bacillus subtilis lipase obtained through directed evolution'''<br />
'''Structure of a thermostable triple mutant of Bacillus subtilis lipase obtained through directed evolution'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
Variation in gene sequences generated by directed evolution approaches, often does not assure a minimalist design for obtaining a desired property, in proteins. While screening for enhanced thermostability, structural, information was utilized in selecting mutations that are generated by, error-prone PCR. By this approach we have increased the half-life of, denaturation by 300-fold compared to the wild-type Bacillus subtilis, lipase through three point mutations generated by only two cycles of, error-prone PCR. At lower temperatures the activity parameters of the, thermostable mutants are unaltered. High-resolution crystal structures of, the mutants show subtle changes, which include stacking of tyrosine, residues, peptide plane flipping and a better anchoring of the terminus, that challenge rational design and explain the structural basis for, enhanced thermostability. The approach may offer an efficient and, minimalist solution for the enhancement of a desired property of a, protein.
