Highly active enzymes produced by directed evolution with stability-based selection.

Abstract excerpt

In a directed evolution aimed at improving enzymatic activity, a situation occurs where highly active variants can no longer be obtained from a template protein because the template is already located at a peak (local maximum) in the fitness landscape of activity for the sequence space. To overcome this situation, the template needs to descend the mountain (lose activity) once and climb another higher mountain....
