TAILOR-MADE BIOCATALYSTS: COMBINING THERMODYNAMICS, ORGANIC SYNTHESIS, MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, BIOCHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY FOR THE DESIGN OF ENZYME SELECTIONS

A general strategy for the isolation of catalysts for given chemical reactions was designed. A first link between genes and their corresponding proteins was established by phage display: using Darwin's principles on evolution based on selection and amplification, rare protein molecules can then...
