Abstract excerpt
Unlike rational protein engineering, directed evolution provides an a priori approach toward the engineering of improved proteins and novel promoters. This minimally recursive technique builds upon small improvements by selecting and combining the best changes. Protein-protein/DNA interactions, catalytic efficiency, or resilience to inhibitors can be improved by thousands of times. By working within a subspace of...
