    Abstract Protocols for the construction of large, deeply mutagenized protein encoding libraries via Golden Gate assembly of synthetic DNA cassettes employ disparate, system‐specific methodology. Here we present a standardized Golden Gate method for building user‐defined libraries. We demonstrate that a 25 μL reaction, using 40 fmol of input DNA, can generate a library on the order of 1 × 106members and that reaction volume or input DNA concentration can be scaled up with no losses in transformation efficiency. Such libraries can be constructed from dsDNA cassettes generated either by degenerate oligonucleotides or oligo pools. We demonstrate its real‐world effectiveness by building custom, user‐defined libraries on the order of 104–107unique protein encoding variants for two orthogonal protein engineering systems. We include a detailed protocol and provide several general‐use destination vectors.

    Abstract Today's Biochemical Engineer may contribute to advances in a wide range of technical areas. The recent Biochemical and Molecular Engineering XXI conference focused on “The Next Generation of Biochemical and Molecular Engineering: The role of emerging technologies in tomorrow's products and processes”. On the basis of topical discussions at this conference, this perspective synthesizes one vision on where investment in research areas is needed for biotechnology to continue contributing to some of the world's grand challenges.
