Applications of Recombinant DNA Technology Directed Evolution

Biocatalysis is the study of biological catalysts with regard to their kinetics, mechanisms, specificity, and application in synthesis and analysis. In addition to the traditional study of mechanistic enzymology, biocatalysis is concerned with the use of recombinant DNA technology, site-specific mutagenesis, directed evolution, pathway engineering, substrate design, and structure-based approaches as tools for the development of novel catalysts and reactions.
