High-Throughput Solid-Substrate Cellulolytic Screens and Directed Evolution of Improved Cellulases
I am studying the engineering and recombinant expression of fungal cellulase enzymes in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. I apply Biased Clique Shuffling, an evolutionary technique based on DNA shuffling, to improve the properties of these enzymes. This work is particularly focused on the nature and consequences of post-translational modifications on native and recombinant cellulases.
