Y. Okada et al., INCREASE IN THERMOSTABILITY OF RECOMBINANT BARLEY BETA-AMYLASE BY RANDOM MUTAGENESIS, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 59(6), 1995, pp. 1152-1153
Random mutations were introduced into recombinant barley beta-amylase
by modified PCR to increase its thermostability. Two clones were obtai
ned. One was found to have a change of Ser-351 to Pro and another, a c
hange of Ala-376 to Ser, and 2.3 degrees C and 1.0 degrees C increases
, respectively, in the thermostabilities compared with that of native
recombinant beta-amylase.
