1. A method of generating a variant protein for a host as compared to a parent protein, comprising:
- A. comparing said parent protein sequence with two or more natural protein sequences from said host species;
B. analyzing one or more amino acid strings of said parent protein sequence with a corresponding amino acid string of each natural protein sequence; and
, C. substituting one or more amino acids of said parent protein sequence with a corresponding amino acid string of a natural protein sequence on an amino acid string by amino acid string basis. D. wherein said variant protein has increased host string content as compared to said parent protein, and, E. wherein said substituted amino acids include a first substitution in a first string from a first natural protein, and a second substitution in a second string from a second natural protein.
