Abstract excerpt
We describe a completely in vitro high-throughput screening system for directed evolution of enzymes based on in vitro compartmentalization (IVC). Single genes are transcribed and translated inside the aqueous droplets of a water-in-oil emulsion. Enzyme activity generates a fluorescent product and, after conversion into a water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion, fluorescent droplets are sorted using a...
