Random Mutagenesis Using Error-Prone DNA Polymerases

(Protocol summary only for purposes of this preview site)

Random mutagenesis is a technique that allows researchers to develop large libraries of variants of a particular DNA sequence. Once developed, these libraries can then be used for several purposes, including structurefunction and directed evolution studies. Random mutagenesis is different from other mutagenesis techniques in that it does not require the researcher to have any prior knowledge about the structural properties of the DNA sequence being targeted, thus allowing for the unbiased discovery of novel or beneficial mutations. For this reason, random mutagenesis is especially useful for protein evolution studies.
