Overview of Error-Prone PCR for Variability in Enzyme Libraries

Error-prone polymerase chain reaction (PCR) stands as a pivotal technique in the realm of enzyme library diversification, addressing the need for variability in the generated libraries. This method introduces mutations during the amplification process, fostering diversity in enzyme populations. Research in this domain has made noteworthy strides, focusing on optimizing error-prone PCR protocols to enhance mutagenesis rates and maintain library quality. Advances include the refinement of mutagenic primer design, polymerase selection, and reaction conditions to achieve controlled mutagenesis. Furthermore, the exploration of novel error-prone polymerases with distinct error spectra has broadened the spectrum of mutational landscapes. These developments underscore the significance of error-prone PCR in enzyme engineering, offering a powerful tool for tailoring enzyme libraries with enhanced functional diversity.
