== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
Judicious incorporation of d-amino acids in engineered proteins confers many advantages such as preventing degradation by endogenous proteases and promoting novel structures and functions not accessible to homochiral polypeptides. Glycine to d-alanine substitutions at the carboxy termini can stabilize alpha-helices by reducing conformational entropy. Beyond alanine, we propose additional side chain effects on the degree of stabilization conferred by d-amino acid substitutions. A detailed, molecular understanding of backbone and side chain interactions is important for developing rational, broadly applicable strategies in using d-amino acids to increase protein thermostability. Insight from structural bioinformatics combined with computational protein design can successfully guide the selection of stabilizing d-amino acid mutations. Substituting a key glycine in the Trp-cage miniprotein with d-Gln dramatically stabilizes the fold without altering the protein backbone. Stabilities of individual substitutions can be understood in terms of the balance of intramolecular forces both at the alpha-helix C-terminus and throughout the protein. | |||
