RESUMO

Implementing hyperthermostable carbonic anhydrases into CO2 capture and storage technologies in order to increase the rate of CO2 absorption from the industrial flue gases is of great importance from technical and economical points of view. The present study employed a combination of in silico tools to further improve thermostability of a known thermostable carbonic anhydrase from Sulfurihydrogenibium yellowstonense. Experimental results showed that our rationally engineered K100G mutant not only retained the overall structure and catalytic efficiency but also showed a 3 °C increase in the melting temperature and a two-fold improvement in the enzyme half-life at 85 °C. Based on the molecular dynamics simulation results, rearrangement of salt bridges and hydrogen interactions network causes a reduction in local flexibility of the K100G variant. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that thermostability can be improved through imposing local structural rigidity by engineering a single-point mutation on the surface of the enzyme.
