Enzyme engineering entails the tailoring of protein catalysts to meet the specific demands of the end user ... This design and rDNA-directed alteration of enzymes, or enzyme engineering offer a wealth of information on the relationship of protein structure to enzyme function and activity ... Targets for rDNA-directed mutagenesis have been chosen among proteins with a known or putative relationship between structure and function. This approach has undoubtedly facilitated the interpretation of experimental results and has guided the experimentalist in the choice of site(s) for mutagenesis. 2, record 1, English, - enzyme%20engineering
