Lehrinhalt

Protein engineering by rational, semi-rational and random methods is an important method in adapting properties of protein. In this practical course two examples, engineering of an enzyme by a semi-rational approach (site-saturation mutagenesis at a selected position with subsequent screening for improved activity in MTP) as well as a random approach (yeast display of a randomly constructed antibody library, a scFC library, and FACS-based screening of improved thermostability) will be given as examples

Lehrziel

Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:
- compare different methods (directed mutagenesis, random mutagenesis) for protein improvement
- comment on the concept of library design, suitable for a particular aspect of protein evolution
- implement the principle of protein display for the improvement of its properties
- apply the parameters of library construction and selection for its directed evolution
