Abstract:
Additive or non-additive, that is the question: The increasing awareness of non-additive cooperative mutational effects in protein engineering is currently providing new theoretical and practical insights. In particular, the directed evolution of stereoselective enzymes as catalysts in organic chemistry and biotechnology profits from this intriguing development.
