Thermal stabilization of dihydrofolate reductase using monte carlo unfolding simulations and its functional consequences.

Design of proteins with desired thermal properties is important for scientific and biotechnological applications. Here we developed a theoretical approach to predict the effect of mutations on protein stability from non-equilibrium unfolding simulations. We establish a relative measure based on appa...
