Investigating and Engineering Enzymes by Genetic Selection

Abstract excerpt

Natural enzymes have arisen over millions of years by the gradual process of Darwinian evolution. The fundamental steps of evolution-mutation, selection, and amplification-can also be exploited in the laboratory to create and characterize protein catalysts on a human timescale. In vivo genetic selection strategies enable the exhaustive analysis of protein libraries with 10(10) different members, and even larger...
