DIRECTED ENZYME EVOLUTION GROUP AT ICP-CSIC

Welcome to Miguel Alcalde group at the Institute of Catalysis (ICP, CSIC, Madrid). Our research primarily focuses on the engineering of enzymes by directed evolution and computational design for a wide range of biotechnological purposes; the development of high-throughput biomolecular screening tools and genetic methods for library construction and exploration, as well as synthetic biology studies for environmental and energy applications.

DIRECTED EVOLUTION

Designing ad-hoc enzymes for industrial applications

1. Development of high-throughput screening assays

Highly sensitive and reliable screening assays to improve different biochemical traits.

2. Design of DNA recombination methods

Broad portfolio of library creation methods based on the high frequency of homologous recombination of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

3. Analysis of mutant libraries assisted by computational algorithms.

Computational methods aimed at reducing screening efforts.
