Directed evolution, a method used in protein engineering, is used to produce enzymes with many unique properties. The method mimics the process of natural selection to evolve proteins or nucleic acids toward a user-defined goal. The whole process is divided into two parts – mutagenesis of the gene encoding the enzyme to produce a library of variants, and selection of a particular variant based on its desirable catalytic properties.

The [course_title] course focuses on the process of Directed evolution and analyses the enzymes types that are worth evolving. You will learn the methods that are used for library generation and enzyme selection. The enzymes that are used in the synthesis of drugs and biotechnological applications will also be focused on the course.

Assessment

This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.

Certification

Edukite courses are free to study. To successfully complete a course you must submit all the assignment of the course as part of assessment. Upon successful completion of a course, you can choose to make your achievement formal by obtaining your Certificate at a cost of £49.

Having an Official Edukite Certification is a great way to celebrate and share your success. You can:

  • Add the certificate to your CV or resume and brighten up your career
