Abstract
A highly efficient selection method for enhanced enzyme enantioselectivity based on yeast surface display and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) is developed and validated. Its application to horseradish peroxidase has resulted in enzyme variants up to 2 orders of magnitude selective toward either substrate enantiomer at will. These marked improvements in enantioselectivity are demonstrated for the surface-bound and soluble enzymes and rationalized by computational docking studies.
