Description
The aim of protein engineering is to improve or alter the properties of proteins in a rational, pre-determined way. This requires an understanding of the scope, structure, and function of proteins. The increasing importance of the subject is reflected in the widening range of courses covering the topic. This review of the subject explains the principles and applications. Topics covered include analysis of mutant proteins, understanding of structure-activity relationships, and the application of protein engineering to industrial and medical problems.
