"Enzyme (re)design: lessons from natural evolution and
computation"
- functionally diverse superfamilies: same catalytic method, different reactions
- can create new catalysts by taking an original enzyme and modifying its specificity (same catalytic method)
- usually occurs at expense of original functionality
- other option: some enzymes are promiscuous: use directed evolution to favour one reaction.
