Production and Characterization of Recombinant Wild Type Uricase from Indonesian Coelacanth (L. menadoensis) and Improvement of Its Thermostability by In Silico Rational Design and Disulphide Bridges Engineering

The ideal therapeutic uricase (UOX) is expected to have the following properties; high expression level, high activity, high thermostability, high solubility and low immunogenicity. The latter property is believed to depend largely on sequence identity to the deduced human UOX (dH-UOX). Herein, we e...
