Intracellular complexities of acquiring a new enzymatic function revealed by mass-randomisation of active-site residues
Selection for a promiscuous enzyme activity provides substantial opportunity for competition between endogenous and newly-encountered substrates to influence the evolutionary trajectory, an aspect that is often overlooked in laboratory directed evolution studies. We selected the Escherichia coli nit...
