We report on the development of high-throughput fluorogenic assay that can streamline directed evolution of enantioselective sulfoxide reductases. As a model, methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA) has been evolved to expand its limited substrate scope. The resulting mutant MsrA can resolve a range of new challenging racemic sulfoxides with high efficiency including the pharmaceutically relevant albendazole sulfoxide. The simplicity and the level of throughput make this method also suitable for the screening of metagenomic libraries in future for the discovery of new enzymes with similar reactivities.
