(2018) Expression, Purification and Crystallization of Thermostable Mutant of Cutinase Est1 from Thermobifida alba.

2.1. Protein Expression and Purification

Est1(A68V/T253P) was used throughout this study (Table 1) [6]. Briefly, 20 mL of an overnight culture of E.coli cells Rosetta-gami B (DE3) transformed with pQE80L-est1(A68V/T253P) was inoculated to 400 mL of LB medium with 50 µg∙ml−1 ampicillin.

Determination of Specific Activity

Enzymatic activities were determined by using p-nitrophenylbutyrate (pNPB) ester substrates as previously described [6]. The reaction was performed at 310 K in 1 mL of the mixture containing 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 1 mM pNPB and 0.001 mM enzyme. The reaction mixture without the enzyme was used as the control. Reactions were started by the addition of pNPB.
