Engineering an enzyme to resist boiling.
In recent years, many efforts have been made to isolate enzymes from extremophilic organisms in the hope to unravel the structural basis for hyperstability and to obtain hyperstable biocatalysts. Here we show how a moderately stable enzyme (a thermolysin-like protease from Bacillus stearothermophilus, TLP-ste) can be made hyperstable by a limited number of mutations. The mutational strategy inc...
متن کاملDNA Replication Reaches the Breaking Point
DNA strand breaks that result in stalled or damaged replication forks can be detrimental to the DNA replication process. In this issue, Doksani et al. (2009) examine the impact of a single double-stranded DNA break on replication in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
متن کاملFrench researchers at boiling point
Over 30,000 French scientists have signed an online petition to " save research " set up last month, with a pledge to stop their administrative duties unless the government starts listening to their complaints about funding. There is one signature for every minute that has passed since the petition — aiming to save the French public research base from the latest cuts imposed by the government —...

We discuss here the prospects for biotechnology of extreme thermophilic microorganisms.
متن کاملMolecular Weight by Boiling Point Elevation
This experiment demonstrates the use of colligative properties. The goal is to measure the molecular weight of a non-volatile solute by determining the concentration dependence of the boiling point elevation of a solution. The solvent used must be one of the compounds commonly referred to as volatile; that is, it must have an appreciable vapor pressure. One of the several useful aspects of coll...
