Efficient molecular evolution to generate enantioselective enzymes using a dual-channel microfluidic droplet screening platform

Optimizing an enzyme usually requires testing thousands of variants, thus consuming large amounts of material and time. Here, the authors present a method that allows for measuring two different activities of the same enzyme simultaneously instead of doing two consecutive rounds of screening.
