protein engineering

Creation of synthetic proteins designed to carry out specific tasks. For example, an enzyme may be designed to remove grease from soiled clothes and remain stable at the high temperatures in a washing machine.

In biochemical research, protein variants are also produced for the detailed investigation of how their structures arise and how they fulfil their biological functions.
