| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Most of polymerase using basic compounds as a substrate requires co-factors such as acetyl-CoA. Here, we tried to develop an novel enzyme working without cofactors. Protein expression systems have been established and expanded into cell surface display system. However, the activity of displayed enzyme was not enough for further evolution, another strategy should be needed to improve protein function as well as optimization of protein expression and directed evolution.
