What are Some Applications of the DHFR Selection System?
The DHFR selection system has several applications in both academic research and industrial settings:
Protein Engineering: Facilitates the evolution and optimization of enzymes and other proteins. Drug Discovery: Useful for screening large libraries of compounds to identify potential inhibitors or activators of DHFR. Gene Therapy: Ensures the expression of therapeutic genes in target cells. Biopharmaceutical Production: Enhances the yield and stability of recombinant proteins.
