Directed evolution is a powerful tool for improving existing properties and imparting completely new functionalities to proteins^(1-4). Nonetheless, its potential in even small proteins is inherently limited by the astronomical number of possible amino acid sequences. Sampling the complete sequence space of a 100-residue protein would require testing of 20^(100) combinations, which is beyond any existing experimental approach. In practice, selective modification of relatively few residues is...

NMR-Guided Directed Evolution of a Kemp Eliminase
Directed evolution has emerged as a powerful tool for improving protein properties and imparting completely new functionalities onto existing proteins. Several computational methods have been successful in predicting potential hotspots for directed evolution. However, they rely heavily on prior structural and/or functional information. To address these fundamental limitations, we focused on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) as a tool to rapidly evolve enzymes without structural characterization....
