It is 20 years since site-directed mutagenesis was first used to modify the active site of an enzyme of known structure and mechanism. Since then, this method has contributed far-reaching insights into catalysis, specificity, stability and folding of proteins. Engineered proteins are now being used in industry and for the improved treatment of human disease.
自定点诱变首次用于修饰已知结构和机制的酶的活性位点以来,已经过去了20年。从那时起,这种方法为蛋白质的催化、特异性、稳定性和折叠提供了深远的见解。工程蛋白现在正用于工业和改善人类疾病的治疗。
