Technical Route
Our technical method route is a meticulously designed process that ensures the production of high-quality enzymes. It consists of the following steps:
- Initial Enzyme Model Design: This is the first step where we create a preliminary model of the enzyme, considering its structure and functionality.
- Computational Simulation: In this step, we run the created model through a series of computational simulations to check its feasibility and potential performance.
- Enzyme Modification: Based on the results obtained from the simulation, we modify the enzyme to enhance its performance and adapt it to specific tasks.
- Experimental Validation: The modified enzyme is then subjected to a series of rigorous experimental tests for validation.
