<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Principles">Principles</h2></div>
<p>Directed evolution is a mimic of the natural evolution cycle in a laboratory setting. Evolution requires three things to happen: <a href="Genetic_diversity" title="Genetic diversity">variation</a> between replicators, that the variation causes <a href="Fitness_(biology)" title="Fitness (biology)">fitness differences</a> upon which selection acts, and that this variation is <a href="Heritability" title="Heritability">heritable</a>. In DE, a single gene is evolved by iterative rounds of mutagenesis, selection or screening, and amplification.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Rounds of these steps are typically repeated, using the best variant from one round as the template for the next to achieve stepwise improvements.
</p><p>The likelihood of success in a directed evolution experiment is directly related to the total library size, as evaluating more mutants increases the chances of finding one with the desired properties.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Generating_variation">Generating variation</h3></div>
<p>The first step in performing a cycle of directed evolution is the generation of a library of variant genes. The <a href="Sequence_space" title="Sequence space">sequence space</a> for random sequence is vast (10<sup>130</sup> possible sequences for a 100 <a href="Amino_acid" title="Amino acid">amino acid</a> protein) and extremely sparsely populated by functional proteins. Neither experimental,<sup id="cite_ref-Lipovsek_D_2004_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lipovsek_D_2004-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> nor natural<sup id="cite_ref-Dryden_DT_2008_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dryden_DT_2008-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> evolution can ever get close to sampling so many sequences. Of course, natural evolution samples variant sequences close to functional protein sequences and this is imitated in DE by mutagenising an already functional gene.
Some calculations suggest it is entirely feasible that for all practical (i.e. functional and structural) purposes, protein sequence space has been fully explored during the course of evolution of life on Earth.<sup id="cite_ref-Dryden_DT_2008_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dryden_DT_2008-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The starting gene can be mutagenised by random <a href="Point_mutations" class="mw-redirect" title="Point mutations">point mutations</a> (by chemical mutagens or error prone <a href="Polymerase_chain_reaction" title="Polymerase chain reaction">PCR</a>)<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="Indel" title="Indel">insertions and deletions</a> (by transposons).<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="Genetic_recombination" title="Genetic recombination">Gene recombination</a> can be mimicked by <a href="DNA_shuffling" title="DNA shuffling">DNA shuffling</a><sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> of several sequences (usually of more than 70% sequence identity) to jump into regions of sequence space between the shuffled parent genes. Finally, specific regions of a gene can be systematically randomised<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> for a more focused approach based on structure and function knowledge. Depending on the method, the library generated will vary in the <a href="Distribution_of_fitness_effects" class="mw-redirect" title="Distribution of fitness effects">proportion of functional variants</a> it contains. Even if an organism is used to express the gene of interest, by mutagenising only that gene the rest of the organism's genome remains the same and can be ignored for the evolution experiment (to the extent of providing a constant genetic environment).
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Detecting_fitness_differences">Detecting fitness differences</h3></div>
<p>The majority of <a href="Mutation" title="Mutation">mutations</a> are deleterious and so libraries of mutants tend to mostly have variants with reduced <a href="Catalytic_activity" class="mw-redirect" title="Catalytic activity">activity</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Therefore, a high-throughput <a href="Assay" title="Assay">assay</a> is vital for measuring activity to find the rare variants with beneficial mutations that improve the desired properties. Two main categories of method exist for isolating functional variants. <b>Selection</b> systems directly couple protein function to survival of the gene, whereas <b>screening</b> systems individually assay each variant and allow a quantitative threshold to be set for sorting a variant or population of variants of a desired activity. Both selection and screening can be performed in living cells (<i>in vivo</i> evolution) or performed directly on the <a href="Protein" title="Protein">protein</a> or <a href="RNA" title="RNA">RNA</a> without any cells (<i>in vitro</i> evolution).<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>During <i>in vivo</i> evolution, each cell (usually <a href="Bacteria" title="Bacteria">bacteria</a> or <a href="Yeast" title="Yeast">yeast</a>) is <a href="Transformation_(genetics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Transformation (genetics)">transformed</a> with a <a href="Plasmid" title="Plasmid">plasmid</a> containing a different member of the variant library. In this way, only the gene of interest differs between the cells, with all other genes being kept the same. The cells express the protein either in their <a href="Cytoplasm" title="Cytoplasm">cytoplasm</a> or <a href="Plasma_membrane" class="mw-redirect" title="Plasma membrane">surface</a> where its function can be tested. This format has the advantage of selecting for properties in a cellular environment, which is useful when the evolved protein or RNA is to be used in living organisms. When performed without cells, DE involves using <a href="In_vitro_compartmentalization#In_Vitro_transcription.2Ftranslation" title="In vitro compartmentalization"><i>in vitro</i> transcription translation</a> to produce proteins or RNA free in solution or compartmentalised in <a href="In_vitro_compartmentalization" title="In vitro compartmentalization">artificial microdroplets</a>. This method has the benefits of being more versatile in the selection conditions (e.g. temperature, solvent), and can express proteins that would be toxic to cells. Furthermore, <i>in vitro</i> evolution experiments can generate far larger libraries (up to 10<sup>15</sup>) because the library DNA need not be <a href="Transformation_(genetics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Transformation (genetics)">inserted</a> into cells (often a limiting step).
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Selection">Selection</h4></div>
<p>Selection for <a href="Protein_binding" class="mw-redirect" title="Protein binding">binding activity</a> is conceptually simple. The target molecule is immobilised on a solid support, a library of variant proteins is flowed over it, poor binders are washed away, and the remaining bound variants recovered to isolate their genes.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Binding of an enzyme to immobilised covalent <a href="Enzyme_inhibitor" title="Enzyme inhibitor">inhibitor</a> has been also used as an attempt to isolate active catalysts. This approach, however, only selects for single catalytic turnover and is not a good model of substrate binding or true substrate reactivity. If an enzyme activity can be made necessary for cell survival, either by synthesizing a vital metabolite, or destroying a toxin, then cell survival is a function of enzyme activity.<sup id="cite_ref-Leemhuis_H_2005_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Leemhuis_H_2005-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Such systems are generally only limited in throughput by the <a href="Transformation_(genetics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Transformation (genetics)">transformation</a> efficiency of cells. They are also less expensive and labour-intensive than screening, however they are typically difficult to engineer, prone to artefacts and give no information on the <a href="Distribution_of_fitness_effects" class="mw-redirect" title="Distribution of fitness effects">range of activities</a> present in the library.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Screening">Screening</h4></div>
<p>An alternative to selection is a screening system. Each variant gene is individually <a href="Protein_expression_(biotechnology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Protein expression (biotechnology)">expressed</a> and <a href="Assay" title="Assay">assayed</a> to quantitatively measure the activity (most often by a <a href="Colorimetry" title="Colorimetry">colourgenic</a> or <a href="Fluorogenic" title="Fluorogenic">fluorogenic</a> product). The variants are then ranked and the experimenter decides which variants to use as templates for the next round of DE. Even the most high throughput assays usually have lower coverage than selection methods but give the advantage of producing detailed information on each one of the screened variants. This disaggregated data can also be used to characterise the distribution of activities in libraries which is not possible in simple selection systems. Screening systems, therefore, have advantages when it comes to experimentally characterising adaptive evolution and fitness landscapes.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ensuring_heredity">Ensuring heredity</h3></div>
<p>When functional proteins have been isolated, it is necessary that their genes are too, therefore a <a href="Heredity" title="Heredity">genotype–phenotype</a> link is required.<sup id="cite_ref-Leemhuis_H_2005_24-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Leemhuis_H_2005-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This can be covalent, such as <a href="MRNA_display" title="MRNA display">mRNA display</a> where the <a href="MRNA" class="mw-redirect" title="MRNA">mRNA</a> gene is linked to the protein at the end of translation by puromycin.<sup id="cite_ref-Lipovsek_D_2004_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lipovsek_D_2004-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Alternatively the protein and its gene can be co-localised by compartmentalisation in living cells<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or emulsion droplets.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The gene sequences isolated are then amplified by PCR or by transformed host bacteria. Either the single best sequence, or a pool of sequences can be used as the template for the next round of mutagenesis. The repeated cycles of Diversification-Selection-Amplification generate protein variants adapted to the applied selection pressures.

A drawback of this is that even when the structure and mechanism of action of the protein are well known, the change due to mutation is still difficult to predict. Therefore, an advantage of DE is that there is no need to understand the mechanism of the desired activity or how mutations would affect it.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceB_30-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceB-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Limitations_of_directed_evolution">Limitations of directed evolution</h3></div>
<p>A restriction of directed evolution is that a high-throughput assay is required in order to measure the effects of a large number of different random mutations. This can require extensive research and development before it can be used for directed evolution. Additionally, such assays are often highly specific to monitoring a particular activity and so are not transferable to new DE experiments.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Additionally, selecting for improvement in the assayed function simply generates improvements in the assayed function. To understand how these improvements are achieved, the properties of the evolving enzyme have to be measured. Improvement of the assayed activity can be due to improvements in enzyme catalytic activity or enzyme concentration. There is also no guarantee that improvement on one substrate will improve activity on another. This is particularly important when the desired activity cannot be directly screened or selected for and so a ‘proxy’ substrate is used. DE can lead to evolutionary specialisation to the proxy without improving the desired activity. Consequently, choosing appropriate screening or selection conditions is vital for successful DE.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The speed of evolution in an experiment also poses a limitation on the utility of directed evolution. For instance, evolution of a particular phenotype, while theoretically feasible, may occur on time-scales that are not practically feasible.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Recent theoretical approaches have aimed to overcome the limitation of speed through an application of <a href="Shortcuts_to_adiabaticity" title="Shortcuts to adiabaticity">counter-diabatic driving</a> techniques from statistical physics, though this has yet to be implemented in a directed evolution experiment.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Combinatorial_approaches">Combinatorial approaches</h3></div>
<p>Combined, 'semi-rational' approaches are being investigated to address the limitations of both rational design and directed evolution.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Goldsmith_M_2012_35-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Goldsmith_M_2012-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Beneficial mutations are rare, so large numbers of random mutants have to be screened to find improved variants. 'Focused libraries' concentrate on randomising regions thought to be richer in beneficial mutations for the mutagenesis step of DE. A focused library contains fewer variants than a traditional random mutagenesis library and so does not require such high-throughput screening.
</p><p>Creating a focused library requires some knowledge of which residues in the structure to mutate. For example, knowledge of the <a href="Active_site" title="Active site">active site</a> of an enzyme may allow just the residues known to interact with the <a href="Enzyme_substrate_(biology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Enzyme substrate (biology)">substrate</a> to be randomised.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Alternatively, knowledge of which protein regions are <a href="Segregating_site" title="Segregating site">variable</a> in nature can guide mutagenesis in just those regions.<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
