Protein Variants Comment Organism
C20S the C20S mutant protein forms a dimer structure even though it is missing the Cys20–Cys20 disulfide bond between its two subunits. Incubation at 85°C for 20 min causes the precipitation of more than half of the C20S protein, while more than 70% of the wild-type enzyme is soluble at that temperature. Methyl-transfer activity of the C20S mutant protein is slightly less than that of the wild-type enzyme at 70°C. Comparison of the CD-spectra of wild-type and C20S proteins reveals that some of the alpha-helices in the C20S mutant protein are less tightly packed than the alpha-helices of the wild-type enzyme at 70°C Aquifex aeolicus
