Abstract excerpt
Directed evolution has revolutionized the way scientists create new biomolecules not found in nature. Error-prone polymerase chain reaction (PCR) introduces random mutations and was used to evolve jellyfish and coral fluorescent proteins in bacteria. We describe a novel method for the directed evolution of a far-red fluorescent protein in E. coli. The new method used genes to produce fluorophores inside E. coli...
