Genomic Data Mining: An Efficient Way to Find New and Better Enzymes

It is top priority nowadays for biocatalysis researchers to discover novel, potent enzymes and to redesign and engineer for tailor-made enzymes. Genomic data mining, which depends on the burgeoning computational algorithms and bioinformatics tools, accelerates the process by in silico screening and constructing focused/smart mutant libraries.
