摘要

Judicious incorporation of D-amino acids in engineered proteins confers many advantages such as preventing degradation by endogenous proteases and promoting novel structures and functions not accessible to homochiral polypeptides. Glycine to D-alanine substitutions at the carboxy termini can stabilize a-helices by reducing conformational entropy. Beyond alanine, we propose additional side chain effects on the degree of stabilization conferred by D-amino acid substitutions. A detailed, molecular understanding of backbone and side chain interactions is important for developing rational, broadly applicable strategies in using D-amino acids to increase protein thermostability. Insight from structural bioinformatics combined with compu tational protein design can successfully guide the selection of stabilizing D-amino acid mutations. Substituting a key glycine in the Trp-cage miniprotein with D-Gln dramatically stabilizes the fold without altering the protein backbone. Stabilities of individual substitutions can be understood in terms of the balance of intramolecular forces both at the a-helix C-terminus and throughout the protein.
