The authors used droplet microfluidics to study aryl sulfatases and their ancestors. They show higher mutation rates gave a wider distribution of active variants but fewer improved variants overall and highlight the need to test diverse mutagenesis regimes.

Characterizing the dynamics and functional shifts during protein evolution is essential, both for understanding protein evolution and for rationalizing efficient strategies for e.g. enzymes with desir...
