Abstract:
The present invention is directed to glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) polypeptides that have enhanced GDH activity and/or thermostability relative to the backbone wild-type glucose dehydrogenase polypeptide. In addition, the present invention is directed to a polynucleotide that encodes for the GDH polypeptides of the present invention, to nucleic acid sequences comprising the polynucleotides, to expression vectors comprising the polynucleotides operatively linked to a promoter, to host cells transformed to express the GDH polypeptides, and to a method for producing the GDH polypeptides of the present invention.
Abstract:
Integrated systems and methods for diversity generation and screening are provided. The systems use common fluid and array handling components to provide nucleic acid diversification, transcription, translation, product screening and subsequent diversification reactions.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to variant polypeptides having enhanced ketoreductase activity and/or thermostability for use in the stereospecific reduction of ketones. In addition, the present invention is directed to polynucleotides that encode the ketoreductase polypeptides, including codon optimized versions of the polynucleotides which provide for enhanced expression in host cells. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to nucleotide constructs, vectors and host cells that are transformed with polynucleotides of the present invention.
