Directed Evolution of Selective Enzymes

Know about the book -

Directed Evolution of Selective Enzymes is written by Manfred T. Reetz and published by John Wiley & Sons. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3527655484 (ISBN 10) and 9783527655489 (ISBN 13).

Authored by one of the world's leading organic chemists, this authoritative reference provides an overview of basic strategies in directed evolution and introduces common gene mutagenesis, screening and selection methods. Throughout the text, emphasis is placed on methodology development to maximize efficiency, reliability and speed of the experiments and to provide guidelines for efficient protein engineering. Professor Reetz highlights the application of directed evolution experiments to address limitations in the field of enzyme selectivity, substrate scope, activity and robustness. He critically reviews recent developments and case studies, takes a look at future applications in the field of organic synthesis, and concludes with lessons learned from previous experiments.
