Protein Engineering Protocols

Book Overview

Protein Engineering Protocols considers the general, but not mutually exclusive, strategies for protein engineering. The first is known as rational design, in which the scientist uses detailed knowledge of the structure and function of the protein to make desired changes. The second strategy is known as directed evolution. This volume provides a comprehensive guide to the methods used at every stage of the engineering process. It combines a thorough theoretical foundation with detailed protocols and will be invaluable to all research workers in the area, from graduate students to senior investigators.
