Objectif
In vitro selections offer the potential to select from large libraries, with fewer constraints than current cell-based selections. The key practical consideration in directed evolution of functional biomolecules is the linkage of genotype and phenotype, which can be provided by water-in-oil emulsion droplets that act as femtolitre reactors. Novel applications for catalytic selections of cellulases, key enzyme in teh production of bio-fuels, will be developed by in vitro compartmentalisation techniques in microfluidic devices that the host group has recently developed.
