Abstract
Directed evolution has become the preferred engineering approach to generate tailorβmade enzymes. The method follows the design guidelines of nature: Darwinian selection of genetic variants. This review discusses the different stages of directed evolution experiments with the focus on developments in screening and selection procedures. Β© 2009 IUBMB IUBMB Life 61(3): 222β228, 2009

In the past year, a number of oxidative enzymes have been the target of directed evolution. Catalase reaction specificity has been shifted to peroxidase, the high pH, thermal and oxidative stability of a fungal peroxidase has been dramatically improved, and the substrate specificity of cytochrome P4
## Abstract __Directed enzyme evolution has proven to be a powerful tool for improving a range of properties of enzymes through consecutive rounds of diversification and selection. However, its success depends heavily on the efficiency of the screening strategy employed. Fluorescenceβactivated cell
Directed evolution is becoming a widely used technique for modifying or enhancing protein performance. Ultimately, the success of directed protein evolution experiments hinges on the efficiency of the methods used to screen libraries for mutants with properties of interest. Although there is still a
