Advances in Protein Chemistry: Evolutionary

This is the first high-quality, comprehensive overview of the field of evolutionary protein design. Topics include new protein design strategies, the structures of laboratory-evolved proteins, the evolution of non-natural enzyme functions, and the theory of laboratory evolution.
