G414W substitution preferred to the short-chain pNP-ester substrates.
The improved thermostability may be due to the newly formed hydrophobic clusters.
The additional hydrogen bonds maybe lead to improve thermostability.
Blocking the tunnel of lipase may limit the hydrolysis of the long-chain substrate.
