A likely scenario of evolution of biosynthetic pathways is believed to have occurred by retro-evolution through recruitment of existing enzymes rather than generation of de novo classes. It had been proposed that such retro-evolution occurred in steps as a response to depletion of an essential metab

Directed evolution has become a powerful tool for developing enzyme and whole cell based biocatalysts. Significant recent advances include the creation of novel enzyme functions and the development of several new efficient directed evolution methods. The combination of directed evolution and rationa
On the way to a combinatorial biotechnology? The directed evolution of enzymes promises a rapid access to effective biocatalysts. New molecular biology techniques for random mutagenesis in combination with high-throughput screening might revolutionize the creation of enzymes with new and improved pr
