Analysis of individual changes shows that the improvement results from a combination of many small increases in thermostability from each amino acid substitution.

Amino acid substitutions were chosen using multiple parameters including phylogenetic information and substitution matrices. Each change is assessed for effect on three functional properties using sequence-activity relationships, and an improved variant is synthesized from this information.
