  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010529",
  "term": "Saturation mutagenesis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A molecular biology technique used to create a library of mutant proteins by systematically introducing all possible amino acid substitutions at one or more specific positions within a gene. This method allows researchers to explore the functional consequences of every possible amino acid change at a given site. It is a powerful tool for understanding protein structure-function relationships and for engineering proteins with enhanced properties.",
