The mutation of Tyr to Gly at <scene name='10/1075247/Y127/4'>Tyr127</scene> also increases the thermostability of LCC. The melting point of Y127G is increased to 87.0°C. Tyr has a bulky, rigid aromatic side chain that can cause structural strain. Gly is the smallest amino acid and lacks a side chain, providing greater flexibility.
