Various techniques for making directed alterations in protein molecules, often to improve the properties of enzymes used in industrial processes.
technique for isolating and studying proteins and creating tailor-made proteins by altering the genes that direct their composition
A collection of techniques, including but not exclusively gene mutagenesis, that result in directed alterations being made to protein molecules, often to improve the properties of enzymes used in industrial processes.
A technology to improve on existing proteins, usually enzymes, and to create proteins not found in nature.
The generation of proteins( protein) (specifically enzymes) with subtly modified structures, thus conferring new properties such as changed catalytic specificity or thermal stability.
Protein Engineering Technology will often be used in conjunction with genetic modification to improve existing proteins, usually enzymes, and to create proteins not found in nature. These new and improved proteins will encourage the development of ecologically sustainable industrial processes because they are renewable, biodegradable resources.

the alteration of DNA to encode the synthesis of new proteins that perform new functions. DNA is made of only four nucleotides, in varying sequences, so it can be modified more easily than can proteins, which are difficult to alter using standard chemical means. Protein engineering was the basis for a Nobel prize in 1994.
