What is protein engineering?

• Using proteins in their natural form without any alterations

• Studying protein structures without any modification

• Creating new proteins with modified properties using only chemical treatment

• Modifying protein structure with recombinant DNA technology or chemical treatment for desirable function

What is rational design in protein engineering?

• Studying protein folding mechanisms

• Creating improved protein molecules based on the relationship between structure and function

• Randomly modifying protein structures without any specific goal

• Using proteins without any modifications

What is directed evolution in protein engineering?
