👉 Jerry engineering, also known as genetic engineering or directed evolution, is a method used to optimize proteins, enzymes, or other biological molecules for specific functions by introducing controlled mutations and selecting for improved traits. This process mimics natural evolution but accelerates it, allowing scientists to tailor molecules with desired properties more efficiently. By systematically altering the genetic code of an organism that produces the target molecule, researchers can enhance its stability, activity, specificity, or other functional attributes. This technique has been instrumental in developing enzymes for industrial applications, creating more effective drugs, and advancing biotechnological processes.
