Abstract:
Selective chemical modification can be used to create novel proteins, particularly enzymes and antibodies, with altered specificities and catalytic activities in vitro. Modification strategies now being developed should soon yield a wide spectrum of novel biomolecules whose activities are optimized for specific industrial processes or therapeutic applications.
