Overview

DNA shuffling is a molecular biology technique employed to generate diverse enzyme libraries for directed evolution studies. This method involves the fragmentation of homologous DNA sequences, followed by the reassembly of these fragments through random recombination. The resulting chimeric genes encode hybrid enzymes that encompass sequence elements from multiple parent enzymes. DNA shuffling facilitates the exploration of sequence space, enabling the creation of enzyme variants with improved or novel functionalities. Research progress in this field has demonstrated the efficacy of DNA shuffling in evolving enzymes with enhanced catalytic efficiency, substrate specificity, and thermal stability. Moreover, advancements in high-throughput screening techniques have accelerated the identification and characterization of evolved enzymes, contributing to the broader application of DNA shuffling in enzyme engineering for various biotechnological applications.
