How did enzyme catalysts evolve? First, a single catalytic group of rudimentary effectiveness could have been incorporated into a single short peptide. In the second stage, several peptides would bind together, providing a multichain assembly with improved catalytic effectiveness. These peptides wou
Inferring functional consequences is a bottleneck in high-throughput cancer mutation discovery and genetic association studies. Most polymorphisms and germline mutations are unlikely to have functionally significant consequences. Most cancer somatic mutations do not contribute to tumorigenesis and a
## Abstract Directed evolution has been successfully used to engineer proteins for basic and applied biological research. However, engineering of novel protein functions by directed evolution remains an overwhelming challenge. This challenge may come from the fact that multiple simultaneously or sy
