✦ Synopsis

Laboratory evolutionists continue to generate better enzymes for industrial and research applications. Exciting developments include new biocatalysts for enantioselective carbon-carbon bond formation and fatty acid production in plants. Creative contributions to the repertoire of evolutionary methods will ensure further growth in applications and expand the scope and complexity of biological design problems that can be addressed. Researchers are also starting to elucidate mechanisms of enzyme adaptation and natural evolution by testing evolutionary scenarios in the laboratory.

Directed evolution has now been used for over two decades as an alternative to rational design for protein engineering. Protein function, however, is complex, and modifying enzyme activity is a tall order. We can now improve existing enzyme activity, change enzyme selectivity and evolve function de
