This document discusses enzyme engineering and provides details on enzymes, enzyme engineering, and the objectives and methods of enzyme engineering. Enzyme engineering aims to design enzymes by changing amino acid sequences through recombinant DNA technology. The main objectives are to produce enzymes with improved properties for industrial applications, such as increased thermostability, substrate specificity, or activity in organic solvents. The two main methods for enzyme engineering are rational design, which uses structural knowledge to make targeted changes, and directed evolution, which mimics natural evolution in vitro through random mutagenesis and selection of improved enzymes.
