Abstract
This article covers concepts developed for the directed evolution of enzymes. The principle strategy is given in comparison to rational protein design followed by a description of the most prominent methods for creation of mutant libraries. Screening and selection strategies to identify the best hits in these libraries are presented followed by several assays developed for a range of enzyme classes. Finally, selected examples for the successful applica- tion of evolutionary methods to optimize biocatalysts are given.
