The introduction of genetic engineering techniques has allowed the controlled and efficient production of recombinant proteins. This presents scientists with the opportunity to use a wide range of proteins for a number purposes, previously unavailable because of problems relating to expression, purification, or stabihty when considering the use of native proteins.
