Program:
Directed Evolution of Industrial Enzymes -- Exploring Evolutionary Methods for Advanced Enzyme Development
Discover the Strategies and Techniques Industry Leaders are Utilizing to the following:
* Solve enzyme design problems using evolutionary methods
* Improve existing activities and metabolic pathways with recombinant-based directed evolution
* Overcome the distinction between enzymes/industrial catalyst barrier
* Screening strategies and methods for automation
* Clone diversity for family shuffling
* Substantially enhance Activity through site directed mutations
* Evolve enzymes for cancer gene therapy
* Create novel allosteric enzymes with new rational design and selection strategies
* Shuffling genes for better biocatalysis
* Make chloroperoxidase a better epoxidation catalyst
* Use directed evolution to improve Dehalogenase Kinetics
