Although widely used in single-enzyme catalysis process, protein engineering is only being increasingly explored in recent years to achieve more complex in vitro and in vivo biocatalytic processes. This review focuses on major contributions of protein engineering to chemical biotechnology in the field of multi-enzymatic cascade catalysis and metabolic engineering. Especially, we discuss and highlight recent strategies for combining pathway design and protein engineering for the production of novel products.en1879-0429Current opinion in biotechnology2016198205Biowissenschaften, BiologieTechnikProtein engineering approaches to chemical biotechnologyReview Article10.1016/j.copbio.2016.07.007Other
