Abstract
The enzyme γ-humulene synthase normally generates a mixture of more than 50 sesquiterpene products from a single substrate. Targeted evolution allowed the design of new mutants with greatly enhanced product specificity. The results provide a model for the divergent evolution of enzyme specificity from ancestral proteins of promiscuous function.
