  1. Variants A4.1 - 4.5 were obtained from experiment A after four rounds of neutral screening. Variants A5.1 and A5.2 were obtained from the fifth round of neutral screening. Variant B4.1 was obtained from experiment B using a high mutagenesis rate, after four rounds of neutral screening. Variants C4.1 and C4.2 were obtained from experiment C after four rounds of neutral screening. Shuffled-1 and Shuffled-2 are the variants obtained by DNA shuffling of the variants with galactosidase activity. The positions where mutations were previously identified by Matsumura and Ellington [13] are highlighted.
