High Throughput Screening and Selection Methods for Directed Enzyme Evolution
Successful evolutionary enzyme engineering requires a high throughput screening or selection method, which considerably increases the chance of obtaining desired properties and reduces the time and cost. In this review, a series of high throughput screening and selection methods are illustrated with significant and recent examples. These high throughput strategies are also discussed with an emp...
متن کاملRecent advances in biocatalysis by directed enzyme evolution.
Naturally occurring enzymes are remarkable biocatalysts with numerous potential applications in industry and medicine. However, many of their catalyst properties often need to be further tailored to meet the specific requirements of a given application. Within this context, directed evolution has emerged over the past decade as a powerful tool for engineering enzymes with new or improved functi...
متن کاملMicro-colony array based high throughput platform for enzyme library screening.
Enzymes are becoming increasingly important tools for synthesizing and modifying fine and bulk chemicals. The availability of biocatalysts which fulfil the requirements of industrial processes is often limited. Recruiting suited enzymes from natural (e.g. metagenomes) and artificial (e.g. directed evolution) biodiversity is based on screening libraries of microbial clones expressing enzyme vari...
متن کاملA flow cytometry-based screening system for directed evolution of proteases.
Proteases are industrially important enzymes but often have to be improved for their catalytic efficiency and stabilities to suit applications. Flow cytometry screening technology based on in vitro compartmentalization in double emulsion had been developed and applied on directed evolution of paraoxonase and β-galactosidase. Further advancements of flow cytometry-based screening technologies wi...
متن کاملApplication of directed evolution in the development of enantioselective enzymes*
A novel approach to developing enantioselective enzymes for use in organic chemistry has been devised which is independent of structural or mechanistic aspects. The underlying idea is to combine appropriate methods of random mutagenesis, gene expression, and high-throughput screening for enantioselectivity. If these actions are performed in repetitive cycles, an evolutionary pressure is created...
متن کاملAntisense RNA-based High-Throughput Screen System for Directed Evolution of Quorum Quenching Enzymes.
Quorum quenching (QQ) enzymes, which disrupt the quorum sensing signaling process, have attracted considerable attention as new antimicrobial agents. However, their low catalytic efficiency for quorum sensing molecules remains a challenge. Herein, we present an antisense RNA-based high-throughput screen system for directed evolution of a quorum quenching enzyme. The screening system was constru...
