The phrase "allowed the engineering of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the permission or facilitation of a process related to engineering or technical development.
Example: "The new regulations allowed the engineering of more efficient renewable energy systems."
Alternatives: "permitted the development of" or "facilitated the design of".
Advances in molecular genetic methods have allowed the engineering of increasingly sophisticated animal models of cortical malformations and associated epilepsy.
Background: Recent advances in the molecular biology of polyketide biosynthesis have allowed the engineering of polyketide synthases and the biological ('combinatorial') synthesis of novel polyketides.
The advent of nanophotonics has allowed the engineering of very selective emitters and absorbers; however, thermal stability remains a challenge since nanostructures become unstable at temperatures much below the melting point of the used materials.
Modern genetic techniques have allowed the engineering of the producer strains, resulting in a diverse range of new aminocoumarins, including compounds which are more active than the natural antibiotics as well as a compound which is actively imported across the cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria.
Its good protein secretion capacities have allowed the engineering of powerful heterologous protein expression systems [reviewed in [ 2]].
The determination of the 3D structure of the postfusion state of the RSV F glycoprotein has allowed the engineering of a more stable F immunogen able to elicit neutralizing antibodies (Swanson et al, 2011).
This approach allows the engineering of graphene defects and enables further investigation of their effect upon graphene-based sensor characteristics.
Sundew is an important source of pharmacologically active 1,4-naphthoquinones, and genetic transformation allows the engineering of its biochemical pathways.
The use of starch in gelled form as porogen allows the engineering of the porosity and the control of pore shape and distribution.
The vast variety of these specialist fabrics, and the almost infinite number of parameters available to control their properties, allow the engineering of suitable structures for specific applications.
Furthermore, the ability to manipulate these pathways is now possible and will allow the engineering of crops with improved sulphur acquisition and utilization traits.
