Protein Engineering for Enzymatic Fuel Cells

Department of Chemical Engineering, Columbia University, New York, NY, USA 

The field of protein engineering relies on two main approaches for obtaining proteins with desired properties. The first, rational design, attempts to take advantage of existing knowledge of the protein (sequence and structural information, structure-function relationships, computational modeling, etc.) to identify specific amino acid
