# Results
## Protein production and baseline values
In total, 123 proteins, including native BglB, were purified with immobilized metal affinity chromatography and eluted in 200 μL HEPES buffer. Of the 123 proteins synthesized, 85 proteins express and purify as soluble protein. Greater than 65% of mutants maintained the yields obtained by native BglB while roughly 30% did not express and purify as a soluble protein above our limit of detection (0.1 mg/mL) for protein yield after purification based on A280 and SDS-PAGE. Of the 85 proteins with expression, 76 mutants displayed a

that fit to our logistic equation. Native BglB displayed an average melting temperature of 39.6 C.

However, the The melting temperature range of
the all point mutations was 33.8 degrees C to 45.3 degrees C, a deviation of roughly six degrees in either direction from that of wild type.
___ % displayed a melting temperature better than that of wild type. ____%'s melting temperature differed than that of wild type by two standard deviations.
