متن کاملDevelopments in directed evolution for improving enzyme functions.
The engineering of enzymes with altered activity, specificity, and stability, using directed evolution techniques that mimic evolution on a laboratory timescale, is now well established. In vitro recombination techniques such as DNA shuffling, staggered extension process (StEP), random chimeragenesis on transient templates (RACHITT), iterative truncation for the creation of hybrid enzymes (ITCH...
متن کاملIn vitro selection and characterization of a stable subdomain of phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase.
The (beta(alpha))8-barrel is the most common enzyme fold and it is capable of catalyzing an enormous diversity of reactions. It follows that this scaffold should be an ideal starting point for engineering novel enzymes by directed evolution. However, experiments to date have utilized in vivo screens or selections and the compatibility of (beta(alpha))8-barrels with in vitro selection methods re...
متن کاملIn vitro DNA recombination by random priming.
1. Introduction Variation coupled to selection is the hallmark of natural evolution. Although there is no full agreement concerning the best way to create variation , mutation or recombination (1), computational simulation studies have demonstrated the importance of homologous recombination in the evolution of biological systems (2,3). As compared to random mutagenesis, recombi-nation may be ad...
متن کاملUSER friendly DNA recombination (USERec): a simple and flexible near homology-independent method for gene library construction.
USER friendly DNA recombination (USERec) is introduced as a near homology-independent method that allows the simultaneous recombination of an unprecedented number of 10 DNA fragments (approximately 40-400 bp) within a day. The large number of fragments and their ease of preparation enables the creation of libraries of much larger genetic diversity (potentially approximately 10(10)-10(11) sequen...
