Enzyme Modification

• The chapter on protein engineering has introduced and discussed an overview of the available methods for the modification of enzymes. Starting with the classical directed evolution (DE) technique, which has been applied extensively throughout several different biocatalytic processes, the reader moves toward the semi-rational, rational, and de novo design of enzymes. Meanwhile, DE is clearly the current industry-leading technology; depending on the understanding of the particular enzymatic system, and on the available structural information, other techniques such as rational design are also becoming fast and efficient solutions for the development of new catalysts. This success would not be possible without the constant improvements of the computational techniques and the newly developed modeling systems for enzyme engineering.
