Abstract
Recombinant enzyme libraries and kits where a plurality of enzymes are each characterized by different physical and/or chemical characteristics and classified by common characteristics. The characteristics are determined by screening of recombinant enzymes expressed by a DNA library produced from various microorganisms.
Claims1
A process for obtaining a recombinant enzyme library, comprising:
- screening recombinant proteins produced by a plurality of expression clones, each of which contains a polynucleotide derived from a microorganism, said screening being effected to determine the clones which produce recombinant enzymes and to determine a plurality of different enzyme characteristics for the recombinant enzymes;
- and classifying the recombinant enzymes by said enzyme characteristics.
