MeSH definition : Procedures by which protein structure and function are changed or created in vitro
by altering existing or synthesizing new structural genes that direct the synthesis
of proteins with sought-after properties. Such procedures may include the design of
MOLECULAR MODELS of proteins using COMPUTER GRAPHICS or other molecular modeling techniques;
site-specific mutagenesis (MUTAGENESIS, SITE-SPECIFIC) of existing genes; and DIRECTED
MOLECULAR EVOLUTION techniques to create new genes.;
MeSH synonym : genetic engineering, protein; engineering, protein; genetic engineering of proteins; engineering, protein genetic; protein genetic engineering; proteins, genetic engineering;
