Droplet-based microfluidics and enzyme evolution
Current Opinion in BiotechnologyEnzymes are widely used as catalysts in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. While successful in many situations, they must usually be adapted to operate efficiently under nonnatural conditions. Enzyme engineering allows the creation of novel enzymes that are stable at elevated temperatures or have higher activities and selectivities.
