Book cover Recombinant Enzymes - From Basic Science to Commercialization

Abstract

This chapter will discuss the general strategies of cloning recombinant enzymes from identifying a suitable DNA template to choosing the correct host expression system. However, there is no standard operating procedure for cloning a recombinant enzyme. The best strategies should be based on the researcher’s creativity and experiences.
