Chemoselective Able to differentiate between different reactive chemical groups on the same compound. The process of creating a controlled and accelerated version of biological natural selection by modifying enzymes through iterations of mutagenesis to achieve desired performance. The molecule that stores genetic information. Enzyme - A protein catalyst. Biochemical reactions in all living matter are catalyzed by enzymes that typically help convert one chemical to another.
Enzymes are catalysts that recognize a specific chemical compound, such as a single stereoisomer.
An organized collection of clones which represent all of the genes present in a particular organism. Metabolic Engineering - The controlled modification of an organism. Mesophile - An organism that lives in moderate temperature environments. Humans are mesophiles. The study of the structure and function of macromolecules in living cells aimed at explaining as completely as possible in molecular terms the biology of cells and organisms.
