Decoding fold robustness and thermostability in Thermococcus AMP phosphorylase and its DPBB domains

Abstract

We dissect thermostability and fold resilience in Thermococcus AMP phosphorylase and its DPBB domains using multiscale simulations, energetic profiling, and rational redesign. Comparative structural-dynamics analyses across homologs uncover adaptation-linked paradigms integrating sequence divergence, rugged thermodynamics, and fold plasticity, highlighting evolutionary strategies driving thermostability and functional robustness under extreme physicochemical conditions.
