Effects of one amino acid substitutions at the C-terminal region of thermostable L2 lipase from Bacillus sp. L2

The substitutions of the amino acid residue at the predetermined critical point of the Cterminal of L2 lipase may increase its thermostability and lipase activity. N and C-terminal regions in most proteins are often disordered and flexible. However, some protein function was closely related to fl...
