Protein mutagenesis, protein modification, site-directed mutagenesis, random mutagenesisAbstract
Protein engineering is widespread approach in the branch of protein science. It is a useful tool for elucidating function of a single or a stretch of amino acids. Some protein engineers use it to improve the properties of a protein. Despite protein engineering is a powerful tool; it remains an unexplored field in Southeast Asia, specifically in the developing countries. Therefore, this chapter aims to provide a basic overview on the tips, methods, applications, common problems and solutions, as well as the progress of protein engineering in Southeast Asia.References
