Protein structure-based design and engineering can provide insights into protein function and improve protein properties through molecular modelling and targeted mutations. Molecular modelling generates 3D protein structures from sequences to understand structure-function relationships and identify active sites, domains, and other structural features. It also enables large-scale in silico mutation screening to focus experimental efforts on the most promising recombinant protein variants for applications in health, environment, and technology.
