Screening from Commercially Available Enzyme Libraries

Screening from Commercially Available Enzyme Libraries 

By far the fastest and easiest route to finding a new enzyme is to find one that exists in a commercial library. This allows for instant access to the catalyst in sufficient quantities to take the project to the next step. For the most part there are still only a few sources. Traditional sources such as Sigma, Amano, Roche Molecular Biochemicals (formerly Boehringer-Mannheim), and Toyobo carry many of the classic enzymes that have been used in the past.
