Title
Construction of thermostable enzymes
Conference Dates
September 15-19, 2019
Abstract
The hyperthermophilic archaea were collected from the deep-sea in extreme environment, and the structures and functions of their hyperthermostable enzymes have been characterized. From our studies, the rules for the construction of thermostable enzymes have been discovered. Thermostable enzymes can be used for a number of industrial processes at higher temperature, taking advantage of reduced the risk of microbial contamination and solution viscosity as well as increase in the enzyme reaction rate. Using the information of sequence and structural homology among hyperthermostable enzymes, many types of thermostable enzymes have been constructed with protein engineering method.
