Flow chart of screening approach and variant characterization. Multiplexed capillary electrophoresis (MP-CE) was used as platform for screening of two P450 BM3 site-saturation mutagenesis libraries at positions F87 and A328 and compared to the frequently used NADPH depletion assay. A MP-CE and a NADPH based selection of variants was made and selected variants rescreened in multiplets in the corresponding platform. Variants with ≥1.3-fold increase in performance were selected and product formation of all identified substitutions compared to the WT in substrate conversion experiments. For a holistic view, rescreening was as well performed with the opposite platform. The two variants performing “best” in the respective platform (MP-CE: F87V, NADPH: A328N) were purified and their coupling efficiencies and initial oxidation rates determined.
