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.
