Protein Engineering: Technology And Application

Protein engineering is termed as the process of developing valuable proteins. It is a young discipline, with much research taking place into the understanding of protein folding and recognition for protein design principles. There are two general strategies for protein engineering, ‘rational’ protein design and directed evolution. These techniques are not mutually exclusive; researchers will often apply both. In the future, more detailed knowledge of protein structure and function, as well as advancements in high-throughput technology, may greatly expand the capabilities of protein engineering. This book presents reviews on applied technologies in protein engineering and its application.
