Table 2. Zn-binding affinities and thermal stabilities of the RBP Zn2+-binding designs.

PCS
PCS + SCS
Design appKd(Zn2+), μM Tm, °C appKd(Zn2+), μM Tm, °C
A 16 49.2 1.0 54.6
B1 58 50.5 1.5 55.1
B2 430 49.7 2.5 55.2

The thermostability of each of the six proteins did not change discernibly on addition of Zn2+. The ribose-binding affinity of wild-type RBP is 1 μM. The thermostability of the wild-type protein is 58°C.
