Enzymes can be tailored for optimal performance in industrial applications by directing their evolution in vitro. This approach is particularly attractive for engineering industrial enzymes. We have created an efficient para-nitrobenzyl esterase over six generations of random point mutagenesis and recombination couled with screening for improved variants. The best clones identified after four generations of sequential random mutagenesis and two generations of random recombination display more than 150 times the p-nitrobenzyl esterase activity of wild type towards loracarbef-p-nitrobenzyl ester in 15% dimethylformamide. Although the contributions of individual effective amino acid substitutions to enhanced activity are small (<2-fold increas...
