This textbook introduces readers in an accessible and engaging way to
the nuts and bolts of protein expression and engineering. Various case
studies illustrate each step from the early sequence searches in online
databases over plasmid design and molecular cloning techniques to
protein purification and characterization. Furthermore, readers are
provided with practical tips to successfully pursue a career as a
protein engineer. With protein engineering being a fundamental technique
in almost all molecular biology labs, the book targets advanced
undergraduates and graduate students working in molecular biology,
biotechnology and related scientific fields.
