In this authored textbook “A Practical Guide to Protein Engineering” they both explain the concepts behind protein engineering and guide readers through the various practical techniques.
Proteins play important roles in our everyday life. They are used in laundry detergent to remove stains, in baking to make our bread soft, in feedstock processing for biofuel production and in pharmaceutics as vaccines. Protein engineering is a process of developing useful and valuable proteins that can be applied in these diverse applications.
Practical examples, including COVID spike protein, are also provided in the book to demonstrate real-life applications of protein engineering. The textbook also has a companion site with supplementary material and quizzes to support the readers in their learning process.
This book is written specifically for advanced levels of Undergraduate, Postgraduate and PhD researchers. The research groups of Dr Wong and Dr Tee apply protein engineering in the fields of biomanufacturing, bioplastic production, biological CO 2 utilization and industrial biocatalyst to help tackle global challenges, including sustainable manufacturing, climate change and plastic wastes.
