Protein and Enzyme Engineering (Including Use of Genomics)
In the previous chapter, we discussed the principles, uses and techniques of biocatalysis and enzyme technology, particularly with reference to naturally occurring enzymes. In the past, initially the industry largely depended on these naturally occurring enzymes. However, a naturally occurring enzyme and the corresponding bioprocess are often constrained by a set of conditions. In order to overcome these constraints, emphasis has- now shifted from conditions available in a living system to those desirable for an ideal industrial process.
