  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010918",
  "term": "Site-directed mutagenesis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A molecular biology technique used to introduce specific, intentional changes to the DNA sequence of a gene at a predetermined location. This method allows researchers to alter individual amino acids in a protein, enabling the study of protein structure-function relationships. It is a powerful tool for protein engineering and understanding molecular targets.",
