Chemical engineering opportunities proteins

In addition to chemical engineering and site-directed mutagenesis described in the previous section, an approach based on tRNA-mediated protein engineering (TRAMPE) presents new opportunities for engineering photonic proteins. TRAMPE reHes on the following ... 

The ability to design surfactants for the interfaces between organics and carbon dioxide and between water and carbon dioxide offers new opportunities in protein and polymer chemistry, separation science, reaction engineering, chemical waste minimization and treatment, and materials science. With the recent new developments described above, the field is poised for substantial growth. 

Biocatalysis has been established as an enviroiunentally friendly and sustainable alternative to conventional chemical processes in the pharmaceutical industry in the recent decade. Advances in recombinant DNA and genomics technologies, protein and metabolic engineering, as well as bioinformatics are critical in the discovery and development of biocatalysts for industrial processes. Significant progress has also been made in our ability to design biocatalytic cascades and to combine them with traditional chemocatalytic routes. The opportunities and combinations are endless.
