Hyperstable miniproteins: additive effects of D- and L-Ala mutations
Abstract
The folding enantioselectivity for D-Ala versus L-Ala at one glycine site in the Trp-cage is 16 kJ mol(-1); judicious introductions of alanines of the correct chirality raises the melting temperature of this 20-residue fold to 83 degrees C.
