Designing enzymes, unfortunately, is very hard. It’s like working with an atom-sized Lego set, but the instructions are lost ...

Researchers found that using a process called directed evolution, in which the amino acid sequence of an enzyme is randomly changed until it can perform a desired function, proved much more fruitful.

A true directed evolution process is distinct from a simpler set of experiments in which a protein is diversified into a collection (or 'library') of mutants, which are screened or selected. The ...

If your work involves protein or pathway engineering, don’t miss this webinar illustrating the approach that Cellibre, a cellular agriculture company leveraged to significantly accelerate their Design ...

We've had a few successes using directed evolution to create useful variations of existing enzymes, but efforts to broaden the scope of what enzymes can do have been limited. With the advent of AI ...
