To date, efforts in protein engineering have largely used a rational design approach in which the presumed importance of a particular amino acid or a set of amino acids is probed by changing or deleting them and then examining the functional consequences.
In fact, protein engineers frequently have been surprised by the range of effects brought about by single mutations designed to change only one specific and simple property in a protein.
We are applying this strategy to engineer several practically important proteins or enzymes including haloalkane dehalogenase, antifreeze proteins, human estrogen receptors, human major histocompatibility complex molecules, human manganese superoxide dismutase and phosphite dehydrogenases.
