Effect of NaCl on the activity and stability of the mutants of H8. (A) Effect of NaCl on the activity of WT H8 and its mutants. The activities of H8 and its mutants were determined at different NaCl concentrations at their respective optimum temperatures. The activities of WT H8 (70.9 U/mg), R195E (65.6 U/mg), R203E (7.5 U/mg), R216E (82.6 U/mg), R236E (53.0 U/mg), and R263E (62.0 U/mg) in 0 M NaCl were taken as 100%, respectively. (B) Effect of NaCl on the stability of WT H8 and its mutants. The enzymes were incubated in buffers containing different NaCl concentrations at 0°C for 1 h, and the residual activity was measured at their optimum temperatures, respectively. The activities of WT H8 (68.6 U/mg), R195E (64.5 U/mg), R203E (6.7 U/mg), R216E (72.8 U/mg), R236E (48.8 U/mg), and R263E (61.0 U/mg) in 0 M NaCl were taken as 100%, respectively. The graphs show data from triplicate experiments (mean ± SD).
