General description The current importance of enzymatic processes applied to the food and drug industry allows the production of compounds that could not obtain by any other way. Industrial production of enzymes is a business that at the beginning of the 21st century moves around 1600 million of dollars a year. The use of enzymes in industrial processes is often limited by factors inherent to the nature of enzymes as for example a lack of stability in extreme conditions of temperature or pH, denaturation in presence of organic solvents or poor activity against certain substrates. Currently, there are a wide range of techniques of expression and engineering of proteins that allow the generation of modified proteins in order to overcome these limitations. There are a wide range of products developed by these pathways that are used in various fields. This course will describe current methods for expression and modification of proteins, both in basic research and biotechnological applications.
