| Research Abstract |
Peptide which catalyzes a reaction in organic solvents was screened by chemically extended molecular evolutionary engineering. The target reaction was Aldol condensation which is important for biochemical industry. We prepared two substrates ; one is conjugated with tRNA and another conjugated with biotin molecule for recovery. Peptide catalyst was screened by molecular evolutionary engineering using mRNA display which is tough even in organic solvent due to covalent linking between peptide (phonotype) and mRNA (genotype)
