Site saturation mutagenesis is a PCR based method used to target amino acids with significant roles in protein function. The two most common techniques for performing this are whole plasmid single PCR, and overlap extension PCR. Whole plasmid single PCR is also referred to as site directed mutagenesis (SDM).
Explanation:
Protein engineering can be defined as the modification of protein structure with recombinant DNA technology or chemical treatment to get a desirable function for better use in medicine, industry and agriculture. Protein engineering is the process of developing useful or valuable proteins.
