Rapid creation of a novel protein function by in vitro coevolution.

Abstract excerpt

We have developed a simple and efficient method for creation of novel protein functions in an existing protein scaffold. The in vitro coevolution method involves design of a hypothetical pathway for the target function followed by stepwise directed evolution of the corresponding protein along the pathway. As a test case, this strategy was used to engineer variants of human estrogen receptor alpha ligand-binding...
