The present invention provides an assay apparatus for that includes a temperature adjusting device for simultaneously heating a plurality of samples, and a receiving device for receiving spectral emission from the samples while the samples are being heated. In further aspects of the invention, the receiving device can be configured to receive fluorescent emission, ultraviolet light, and visible light. The receiving device can be configured to receive spectral emission from the samples in a variety of ways, e.g., one sample at a time, simultaneously from more than one sample, or simultaneously from all of the samples. The temperature adjusting device can be configured with a temperature controller for changing temperature in accordance with a pre-determined profile.

The invention relates to modified subtilisin enzymes which have increased thermal stability. The modified subtilisin enzymes have at least two or more amino acid mutations which confer increased thermal stability. It has been discovered that combining individual stabilizing mutations in subtilisin frequently results in an additive increase in thermal stability. In addition, the invention pertains to cloned mutant genes coding for a subtilisin material having at least two amino acid substitution which has increased thermal stability.

The invention relates to subtilisin enzymes which have been modified by mutating a nucleotide sequence (gene) coding for the subtilisin. The modified subtilisin enzymes have enhanced thermal stability.
摘要:
A computer-based method evaluates the structure of a protein to thereby identify sites in the protein molecule at which the natural amino acid residues can be replaced with cysteine residues in order to permit the formation of a potentially stabilizing disulfide bond.
摘要:
The present invention is a method for ranking the affinity of each of a multiplicity of different molecules for a target molecule which is capable of denaturing due to a thermal change. The method comprises contacting the target molecule with one molecule of the multiplicity of different molecules in each of a multiplicity of containers, simultaneously heating the multiplicity of containers, measuring in each of the containers a physical change associated with the thermal denaturation of the target molecule resulting from the heating in each of the containers, generating a thermal denaturation curve for the target molecule as a function of temperature for each of the containers and determining a midpoint temperature (Tm) therefrom, comparing the Tm of each of the thermal denaturation curves with the Tm of a thermal denaturation curve obtained for the target molecule in the absence of any of the molecules in the multiplicity of different molecules, and ranking the affinities of the multiplicity of different molecules according the change in Tm of each of the thermal denaturation curves.
