This article reviews the available literature on the function of proteins as biocatalysts and biomaterials. It also explains methods like protein designing, enzyme evolution, metabolic pathway engineering and systems biology. Further, it deals with the discovery and development of extremophilic enzymes and industrial enzymes along with the case studies on novel economical industrial enzymes.
