How Are Enzymes Engineered?

Enzyme engineering involves several strategies:
1. Directed Evolution: This mimics natural selection to evolve enzymes with desired traits. It involves the creation of a library of enzyme variants, followed by screening for improved activity.
2. Rational Design: Based on the known structure and mechanism of the enzyme, specific amino acid residues are altered to enhance performance.
3. Computational Design: Advanced algorithms and machine learning are used to predict mutations that would likely result in improved enzyme activity or stability.
