Enhancement of protein thermostability by three consecutive mutations using loop-walking method and machine learning

Abstract We developed a method to improve protein thermostability, “loop-walking method”. Three consecutive positions in 12 loops of Burkholderia cepacia lipase were subjected to random mutagenesis to make 12 libraries. Screening allowed us to identify L7 as a hot-spot loop having an impact on therm...
