Abstract:Recent directed evolution experiments have shown that the substrate specifity and the catalytic specifity of TIM barrel enzymes can be changed by random mutagenesis. This indicates that in the future new TIM-barrel enzymes with completely novel catalytic activities could become available from structure-based, directed evolution experiments.
