Title:
ISOLATION OF ENZYMES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1997040141
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for isolating the DNA encoding an enzyme is presented. The DNA is contained within a support to which the enzyme is linked, wherein the enzyme is further linked to a substrate. When the enzyme reacts with the substrate, the product remains linked to the enzyme. The product linked to the enzyme which is linked to the support containing the DNA encoding the enzyme is isolated, thereby isolating the DNA encoding the enzyme. In this manner an expression library of enzymes produced by mutagenesis can be screened for mutated active enzyme, and thereby obtain the mutated DNA encoding the mutated active enzyme.
