Protein engineering - Definition and Overview

Protein engineering is the application of science, mathematics, and economics to the process of developing useful or valuable proteins. It is a young discipline, with much research currently taking place into the understanding of the pathway of protein folding (proteomics), protein recognition, and protein design.
