Abstract
This paper explores a novel approach to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) drug discovery through the directed evolution of the BpsA carrier protein domain. By enhancing its activation by non-cognate PPTases, the research aims to generate new bioactive compounds with therapeutic relevance for ASD.
