Los retos actuales en la ingeniería de proteínas.

Jiménez Rosales, Angélica

Proteins are the molecular tools of life and human being have sought ways to adapt them to meet their needs. The aim of this text is to present the scientific grounds about proteins such as their structural levels, folding, catalytic activity of enzymes, and limitations of their applications due to their nature. The conceptual and methodological bases of protein engineering are illustrated, in a simplified manner, including the scope and future perspectives towards the advance of science and innovation of processes. It is concluded that protein engineering is a field which continues to implement computational and genetic-proteomic engineering tools, through which new proteins can be generated to expand their applications in different processes.
