Protein design (or protein engineering) is a technique by which proteins with enhanced or novel functional properties are created. Proteins can be engineered by rational design, which typically ...

Protein improvement strategies today involve widely varying combinations of rational design with random mutagenesis and screening. To make further progress—defined as making subsequent protein ...
