Outrunning Nature: Directed Evolution of Superior Biocatalysts

Woodyer, Ryan; Chen, Wilfred; Zhao, Huimin

Journal of Chemical Education, v81 n1 p126 Jan 2004

The development of enzymes as biocatalysts for industrial use and the emergence of directed evolution in the invention of advanced biocatalysts are discussed and illustrated. Thus, directed evolution has bridged the functional gap between natural and specially designed biocatalysts.
