Summary

Summary

Highlights the diversity of approaches used in understanding the function of proteins and how this understanding is applied to improving protein design for biotechnology applications. Reports on the status of current research into the interactions underlying protein stability. Emphasizes the renaturation of functional properties from the aggregated state. Covers the relationship between protein structure and function and the design of artificial multifunctional proteins by genetic technology. Reviews recent advances in the improvement of cellulase design through recombinant technology. Examines the use of chemical modification to improve enzymes.
