- Those of skill in the art understand that enzymes are a useful class of biocatalysts for organic synthesis. Among these biocatalysts, hydrolases are particularly valuable tools for the food, pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals industry. The importance of biocatalysis has led to the search of novel enzymes with singular activities.

- enzymes may be isolated, screened, characterized, and/or modified using the techniques described herein.
- the techniques may be applicable to Upases or esterases useful for enantioselective hydrolysis of esters (lipids)/thioesters (i.e., resolution of racemic mixtures and / or synthesis of optically active acids or alcohols from meso-diesters; see, for example U.S. Pat. No.
- alpha. -hydroxynitriles for example
- transaminases i.e., for transferring amino groups into oxo-acids
- / or amidases / acylases i.e., hydrolysis of amides, amidines, and other C--N bonds, resolution and synthesis of non-natural amino acids.
- Many other such enzymes are known in the art, and could be modified and assayed as described herein.
- organism and/or polynucleotide libraries from mixed populations of organisms having maximal diversity may be prepared. It is important to have the ability to prepare diverse libraries of organisms to either utlize directly or for the preparation of polynucleotide libraries, such as genomic DNA or cDNA libraries. Diversity of the library is important to ensure that the most information possible can be derived from that library. It has been previously demonstrated that DNA libraries can be prepared from mixed populations of organisms (see, for example, Schmidt, et al. Analysis of a Marine Picoplankton Community by 16S rRNA Gene Cloning and Sequencing, Bacteriology.
- an organism collection may be fingerprinted using the RNA typing, 16S ribosomal typing, and / or Rapid PCR techniques.
- Organisms are first separated, such as by culturing. This technique is adaptable for either mixed, non-related populations of organisms where the DNA sequence variations may be substantial or related populations, where the DNA sequence variations may be relatively minor. It is conceivable that uncultured organisms could be separated by techniques other than culturing, such as by flow cytometry or other methods. The skilled artisan would understand that there are many methods available for the separation of organisms other than culturing.
- DNA is then isolated from each of the organisms and amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
- Random primers are utilized to amplify the DNA of the organisms in the population under standard conditions for PCR.
- the various organisms are then fingerprinted based on the resultant PCR amplification pattern.
- the fingerprints are compared, and organisms sharing identical fingerprints are eliminated from the population. In this manner, duplicate or redundant organisms are eliminated from the population. This provides a unique strain collection. By eliminating redundant organisms prior to the library preparation step, representation of a diverse group of organisms ensured.
- a problem associated with mixed population library preparation is that one or more species of the population may be over- or under-represented in the library.
- the resultant library is equally representative of each of the members of the mixed population. This ensures that the signal from less populous members of the population is not "drowned out” by the signal from more populous members of the population.
- the libraries are screened to identify clones containing DNA molecules encoding particular enzymes.
- Many assays for screening are well-known and widely available in the art. For example, Assays for the identification of selective enzymes having are demonstrated in U.S. Pat. No. 5,969,121, U.S. Ser. No. 08/694,078, U.S. Ser. No. 09/348,976, PCT/US99/15400, and PCT/US99/14448, for example.
- the present application provides methods for identifying novel enzymes having selective activities.
- the assay systems described herein are useful for generating a biochemical fingerprint for an enzyme, especially where the DNA sequence is not yet known.
- This fingerprint can be used by the skilled artisan to differentiate various enzymes from one another. For instance, as shown herein, esterases have been identified and distinguished from one another using a pH assay to determine reactivity and enantioselectivity, and by determining the PNP propionate profile.
- the reactivity and enantioselectivity profiles may be generated using compounds such as compounds 1-26 as shown in Figure 1. These compounds include methyl 2,2-dimethyl-l,3-dioxolane-4-carboxylate (1), methyl l-methyl-2-oxo-cyclohexane propionate (2), methyl 2- chloropropionate (3), methyl lactate (4), glycidyl butyrate (5), tryptophan methyl ester (6), methyl mandelate (7), methyl 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate (8), methyl 3-hydroxybutyrate (9), ethyl 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate (10), oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-6-en-3-one (11), menthyl acetate (12), neomenthyl acetate (13), 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-4,4,4-trichlorobutyric- ⁇ -lactone (14), dimethyl malate (15), dimethyl 2,3-O-iso

Two enzymes are distinct where the biochemical fingerprint of the two enzymes are not substantially similar. Two enzymes are indistinct where the biochemical fingerprint of the two enzymes are substantially similar. In characterizing enzymes, the reactivity, enantioselectivity and
- PNP propionate profile may be known and in some instances this will be sufficient to distinguish the enzymes. In other instances, MW r and / or amino acid sequence may also be known. Other biochemical characteristics, as would be known by one of skill in the art, may also be helpful and may be form additional features of a biochemical fingerprint for an enzyme. Accordingly, any suitable combination of such characteristics may be combined to generate the biochemical fingerprint of an enzyme.
- directed evolution can provide rapid access to an enzyme with the desired properties. This process utilizes a variety of methods such as sequential random mutagenesis, error- prone mutagenesis (i.e., error-prone PCR) or gene shuffling in combination with high-throughput screening or selection to identify libraries of potential biocatalysts. Directed evolution does not necessarily require any prior knowledge of the structure-function relationship.
- the major steps of directed evolution include the selection of the gene, creation of the variant library, insertion of the library into an expression vector, expression of the gene library to product mutant enzyme libraries, screening of the mutant enzymes for the property of interest, and the isolation of the gene corresponding to the improved variant properties so that the cycle can be repeated as desired.
- the generation and screening of mutants with improved performance is carried out in iterative steps. After several cycles, the performance of mutant proteins should be optimal under the application- specific conditions.

Temperature is maintained by circulating 65°C water from a 28 liter 65°C water reservoir through hollow baffles within the stirred jars. E. coli strains are grown under standard conditions. To isolate unknown organisms, multiple stream sediments, composting organic materials, and soil samples may be collected. For these experiments, samples were collected from numerous geographic sites, including Florida, Montana, and Maryland.

Agar was added to a final concentration of 1.5% for solid media to prevent highly motile microorganisms from overcrowding the plate at the expense of other microbes. Plates were incubated at 55°C or 65°C for one to two days and isolates then purified by numerous restreaks onto fresh plates for single colony isolation. The initial basis for differentiation was color, colony morphology, microscopic examination, temperature of growth, and lipase and esterase activities.
