  • Hepatitis C virus helicase crystals, crystallographic structure and methods
    Publication number: 20040126809
    Abstract: Hepatitis C virus helicase has been crystallized as tetragonal and orthorhombic crystals, and the structures of the crystals has been solved. The structure coordinates of the crystal structures are useful for solving the structures of other molecules or molecular complexes.
    Type: Application

  • Engineering of electrostatic interactions at metal ion binding sites for the stabilization of proteins
    Patent number: 5260207
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for redesigning proteins to increase the stability of the protein by altering amino acid residue(s) that are in close proximity to the protein's metal ion binding site(s). Further, the invention is directed to proteins that have been redesigned to have enhanced stability according to the methods of this invention.
