What does Protein Design do in Protein Engineering?


Protein Engg Meet 2020  is an excellent opportunity to interact with the world class Scientists, delegates from  Institutes and  Universities. Protein Engineering Conference is to ameliorate the knowledge, awareness, and education on Protein leading to the discovery of Genetic and others related to life sciences which aid to alleviate the emerging technology in the eyes of Medical, Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals and Academia. 

What is Protein Design?
Protein design is the area of research that has wide applications in drug design, medicine, and advancing the study of protein folding.


Methods in Protein Design:


  • Traditional protein design
  • Structure-based protein design
  • Testing computational protein design

APPROACH IN THE PROTEIN DESIGN:

  •         Direct approach
  •         Practical protein design approach

Recent Examples of Protein designs:

  •         Designing proteins that bind specific ligands

The enthalpy/entropy compensation, potential functions, plasticity of protein, and others design that contribute and suggests areas where fundamental understanding of protein ligand interactions falls short of what is needed. 
  •          Designing enzymes

The design of new enzymes is a use of protein design with huge bioengineering and biomedical applications. However protein design is a prerequisite of de novo enzyme design because the design of catalysts requires a scaffold in which the catalytic mechanism can be inserted. 
  •          Design of a transporter

The natural protein engineering principles are obscured through natural selection and evolution by overlapping functions and complexity. The proteins which are completely artificial is to define and test these protein engineering principles, while recreating and extending natural functions.

STRUCTURE, FUNCTION AND EVOLUTION OF CORONA VIRUS SPIKE PROTEINS

What does Corona Virus Mean? Coronavirus  derives from the Latin which means Crown, as it is in shape of a sphere but covered in spikes, which resembles a crown. It has emerged from the Wuhan in China. As it continues to spread around the world, scientists are striving to develop ways of fighting this previously unknown threat. Computer Modelling is being used to track and predict its transmission, while virologists are attempting to engineer a vaccine while others are seeking drug treatments that can help those who fall ill with the infection. Coronavirus belong to a large group of viruses that can infect both humans and animals and can occasionally jump the species barrier. But while the first cases likely occurred in people who had close contact with infected animals, it seems that most new cases from this 2019-nCoV are being passed human to human. Some of the most common and challenging diseases are caused by coronaviruses. One of the viruses that causes the Common

RACE TO DEVELOP A CORONAVIRUS VACCINE

Image
Corona viruses have caused two other recent epidemics severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (Mers). An essential precursor to regulatory approval is Clinical trials which usually take place in three phases. The first is involving a few dozen healthy volunteers, tests the vaccine. The second is involving several hundred people who are usually in a part of the world affected by the disease and the third does the same in several thousand people. COVID-19 is new and scientists understand to some extent about how it behaves and spreads. The cost of creating a vaccine to protect people against the new corona virus will run into billions of dollars and could take many months. Here are some of the reasons why. •            COVID-19 vaccine time to get into the market is likely to be at least 18 months. •            Potential treatments require testing and funding. •            International organizations are helping to fund research.

ROLE OF PROTEIN ENGINEERING IN HEALTH

Image
Protein Engg Meet 2020 is an opportunity to meet and network with renowned speakers, Doctors, Experts, Scholars, pharmacologists, Researchers   and the associated health experts from around the world and listen to top speakers on new development that will advance the researches of Protein Engineering. How protein helps in Human health? Protein engineering enables the development of novel proteins aimed at disease diagnosis, alleviation and improved health attributes. It provides an overview of recent approaches and techniques used to modify proteins at diverse levels, which find therapeutically relevant applications. There will be an immense interest among researchers to discover new and valuable solutions for various health related issues and protein engineering could be a possible to sort out such problems. Proteins are busy protecting the body against foreign invaders inside every living cell by catalyzing chemical reactions, transmitting signals across cells and organs
