|
Alan Fersht pioneered the application of site-directed mutagenesis to protein engineering. He has applied this technique to determine the strength of electrostatic interactions in proteins, mechanisms of catalysis by enzymes through utilization of noncovalent binding energies, and the pathways and stability for a alpha-helix formation. |
