Abstract excerpt
Directed evolution has paved the way to a new era of protein and nucleic acid molecules with improved and enhanced properties. The utmost important component of directed evolution is random mutations in a defined DNA sequence. The utility of random chemical mutagenesis in directed evolution studies is dwindling due to the inherent flaws with whole-organism mutagenesis and the in vitro approach. Here, we report a...
