Design Notes

To increase the hydrolytic ability of CapD_CP, we made point mutations to the active site. We focused our attention on two types of mutations. First, we created point mutations that can establish hydrogen bondings to a modeled transition state of our substrate in an attempt to lower the activation energy, making hydrolysis more favorable. Second, we mutated the active site into a more open and polar area in an attempt to increase the ease with which water can enter and participate in a hydrolysis reaction.


Source

To build the mutant proteins, we follow the path of the central dogma. First, we created DNA that contains our mutations. Second, we induced our transformed cells containing the desired DNA to express the mutant proteins. Lastly, we harvested the proteins by lysing open the cells and filtering out non-desired cell components.
