They are usually created by constructing and screening libraries of mutated protein variants. Proteins with desired properties are selected for in functional screenings. Despite the success of the method, it is labor intensive and limited in throughput. First protein extracts need to be prepared. Second, after successful screens individual mutated proteins must be tracked back to the original strains.
