Abstract

Methodologies for precision polymerization based on biotechnology are reviewed. Gene technology was used for incoporation of polyproline residues of various lengths into the carboxyl terminal of enzymes. The mutant enzymes were hydrophobic and had functions which were different from those of wild-type enzymes. Expanded gene technology for incorporation of nonnatural amino acids into proteins is also described. Several synthetic methods of misacylated tRNA for the purpose are reported. Molecular evolution engineering, in vitro selection, is reviewed which utilizes an enzymatic polymerization method, polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The future progress using nonnatural nucleic acids is discussed.
