Site-directed mutagenesis is a technique used in molecular biology to introduce specific changes or mutations into a DNA sequence at a particular location. This allows researchers to study the effects of these mutations on gene expression or protein function. Site-directed mutagenesis can be used to investigate the structure-function relationship of proteins, study protein-protein interactions, and create novel proteins with desired properties. This technique is commonly used in genetic engineering and protein engineering research.
