Biomolecular engineering is a study on the molecular interaction of biological substructures (e.g. amino acids, lipids, nucleotides) and its impact on the properties of corresponding structures in the biological system (e.g. transport, degradation, localization). This study will be focused on both natural and synthetic interactions of biological components, as well as engineering techniques to enhance, alter, and/or impart new functionality to biomolecules. Current engineering techniques such as amino acid site-specific modification, fluorescent labeling, GFP tagging, recombinant DNA, and gene shuffling will be discussed using relevant examples ranging from scientific research studies to clinical therapeutic studies.
