title: Exploring the possibilities presented by protein engineering.
abstract: A combination of classical and powerful new combinatorial genetic techniques allows the redesign of enzyme activities and creation of proteins that are tailored to have specific properties. These technologies have far-reaching consequences for the future design of crop plants and the storage compounds within them.
