General schematic of a protein directed evolution experiment. Starting from the top right, DNA encoding for a particular function of interest is mutagenized, producing a library of mutants. The DNA library is transformed into microbes, and made to express proteins. The resulting microbial variants are screened, and the best performing variants are selected for further evolution.
