Elucidating the chemical and thermal unfolding profiles of organophosphorus hydrolase and increasing its operational stability

Organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH, EC 3.1.8.1) is a homodimeric enzyme that has been observed to unfold via a three-state unfolding pathway (N2* ↔ I2 ↔ 2U) under chemical denaturing conditions. The dimeric intermediate (I2) is catalytically inactive and, although this enzyme has a very large overall c...
