Abstract
Changing the surface charge of subtilisin by site-directed mutagenesis produces enzymes with significantly shifted pH-activity profiles, higher catalytic activities and altered specificities. Insight into water as a dielectric, the role of ions in electrostatic shielding and the field effects on catalysis is obtained and suggests rules for tailoring pH-activity profiles.Entities:
