| Abstract | Proteins play a central role in many processes essential to life and have wide-ranging applications in medicine, energy, agriculture, and biotechnology. However, natural proteins are often not ideal for these practical uses. Protein engineering, a field that aims to design proteins with improved or novel functions, has transformed industries by creating tailored proteins. While traditional approaches, such as the Nobel Prize-recognized directed evolution method, have been remarkably successful i |
