• libraries can be prepared by a variety of methods, starting from the respective gene library. The challenge in gene library preparation is to achieve controlled total or partial randomization at any predefined number and position of codons of a given gene, in order to obtain a library with a maximum number

• on soluble polymers, and their use as synthons in standard DNA synthesis. Keywords: gene library; protein engineering; soluble support; synthesis; trinucleotide; Introduction Protein engineering is a highly actual research area with a number of potential applications [1][2][3][4]. The construction

• PCR are used for this purpose as well as recombinant methods like DNA shuffling and related strategies [6][7]. One of the major challenges in gene library production is to generate libraries with a high number of promising candidates to enhance the chance of selecting functional protein variants. The
