Tóm tắt

Adequate means for genotype assignment to phenotype is essential in evolutionary molecular engineering. In this study, construction of ‘in vitro virus’ was carried out in which a genotype molecule (mRNA) covalently binds to the phenotype molecule (protein) through puromycin on the ribosome in a cell‐free translation system. Bonding efficiency was ∼10%, thus indicating a population of the in vitro virus to have ∼1012 protein variants, this number being 104 that in the phage display. The in vitro virus is useful for examining protein evolution in a test tube and the results may possibly serve as basis for a general method for selecting proteins possessing the most desirable functions.
