Parts to Protein Scale Engineering

This session will focus on the engineering of the smallest of biological systems, ranging from proteins down to even shorter DNA constructs such as promoters, terminators, active sites, etc. Presentations will include studies both on new technology developments as well as newly enabled applications in metabolic engineering.
