[0088] The purified mutant and ZHDM2 enzyme solution were concentrated and desalted using a pre-packed desalting column and pH 9.0, 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer. The protein concentration after desalting was determined to make the concentration of the sample to be tested uniform to about 0.5 mg / mL. Then DSC was used to measure T m The measurement temperature range was set to 25-100 °C, the temperature rise rate was set to 120 °C / h, and each sample was scanned three times. The DSC scan results were processed using Origin 2021 to obtain the sample T m Value. Figure 4 As shown, ZHDM2 T m The value is 51.54℃, R76Q T mThe value is 52.49 ℃, T217C-G242C T m The value is 59.82℃, T217C-G242 / R76Q T m The value is 60.12 ℃, which is 0.95 ℃, 8.28 ℃ and 8.58 ℃ higher than that of ZHDM2 respectively.

[0089] The above embodiments are only used to understand the technical solution of the present application and do not limit the protection scope of the present application.
