Enzyme molecules in solitary confinement.
Large arrays of homogeneous microwells each defining a femtoliter volume are a versatile platform for monitoring the substrate turnover of many individual enzyme molecules in parallel. The high degree of parallelization enables the analysis of a statistically representative enzyme population. Enclosing individual enzyme molecules in microwells does not require any surface immobilization step an...
متن کاملEvolving strategies for enzyme engineering.
Directed evolution is a common technique to engineer enzymes for a diverse set of applications. Structural information and an understanding of how proteins respond to mutation and recombination are being used to develop improved directed evolution strategies by increasing the probability that mutant sequences have the desired properties. Strategies that target mutagenesis to particular regions ...
متن کاملRedefining Biology via Enzyme Engineering
A TV series from the 1970s, ‘‘The Six Million Dollar Man,’’ imagines a former astronaut with bionic implants and superhuman strength acting as a secret agent for the government. Such enhancement of human abilities with artificial components (all at a reasonable price tag) might resonate with some of today’s scientists who are working on a more modest goal of augmenting the properties of cells a...
متن کاملSpeeding up enzyme engineering computationally
Can in silico engineering speed up the delivery of biocatalysts for the burgeoning bioeconomy? In this issue, Kamerlin and coworkers introduce CADEE [Amrein et al. (2017), IUCrJ, 4, 50-64] - a framework for Computer-Aided Directed Evolution of Enzymes - that promises to lessen the burden on 'wet lab' enzymologists when optimizing biocatalysts using laboratory-based directed evolution methods.
متن کاملSubband Structure Engineering in Silicon-on-Insulator FinFETs using Confinement
Splitting between equivalent valleys larger than the spin splitting energy is observed in confined electron systems, e.g. Si films grown either on SiGe substrate or Si dioxide and Si/SiGe quantum dots. Understanding the contribution of different factors in the valley degeneracy lifting is of key importance for the development of spin-based devices in Si. We demonstrate that the splitting betwee...
