Abstract
This protocol details the application of a high-throughput fluorescence-based screen, in conjunction with error-prone PCR/saturation mutagenesis, for altering the proficiency and/or promiscuity of a secondary metabolite glycosyltransferase (GT) via directed evolution. Given the structural and mechanistic similarities among secondary metabolite-associated GTs, this approach may provide a template for engineering other members of the GT-B superfamily.Mesh:
