Alpha-oxoglutaric acid was attached to trypsin via reductive alkylation with NaBH4 thereby introducing metal-chelating groups at the protein surface. The thermostability of the modified enzyme was increased by 6.5-13 degrees C and its resistance to autolytic degradation was improved 2- to 4-fold in 5 mM ZnCl2, MnCl2 or MgCl2.
