Protein Engineering and New Biocatalyst DesignNanyang Technological University (Singapore) Protein engineering is the application of biology, chemistry, mathematics and engineering to the process of developing functional/valuable proteins. It is a multi-crossing discipline with much research currently taking place into the understanding of gene manipulation, protein expression and recognition for protein design principles.
Biocatalysts which possess exquisite regioselective and stereoselective properties are being explored extensively in both the academic research and industrial production of active pharmaceutical intermediates, agrochemical intermediates, food ingredients and bulk chemicals. Substrate engineering, medium engineering, and enzyme engineering have been widely investigated to obtain satisfying performance and characteristics in terms of activity, stability and selectivity.
