Artificial gene synthesis based on oligonucleotide augmentation is known as overlap extension PCR which generates a variety of intermediate synthetic products. The orientation and concentration of oligomers can be adjusted to reduce the synthesis of intermediates and optimize the full-length process of DNA synthesis, using a simulation program for serial oligomer extension. The efficiency of the serial oligomer extension process is predicted to be greatest when oligomers are in a ‘forward-reverse-reverse-reverse’ direction. Oligomers with such designed directions demonstrated generation of the desired product in the shortest time (number of cycles) by repeated annealing and elongation. This method, named Asymmetric Extension supported by a Simulator for Oligonucleotide Extension (AESOE), has shown efficiency and effectiveness with potentials for future improvements and optimal usage in DNA synthesis.

The capability to rapidly design proteins with novel functions will have a significant impact on medicine, biotechnology, and synthetic biology. Synthetic genes are becoming a commodity, but integrated approaches have yet to be developed that take full advantage of gene synthesis. We developed a solid-phase gene synthesis method based on asymmetric primer extension (APE) and coupled this process directly to high-throughput, on-chip protein expression, purification, and characterization (mechanically induced trapping of molecular interactions, MITOMI). By completely circumventing molecular cloning and cell-based steps, APE-MITOMI reduces the time between protein design and quantitative characterization to 3-4 days. With APE- MITOMI we synthesized and characterized over 440 zinc-finger (ZF) transcription factors (TF), showing that although ZF TFs can be readily engineered to recognize a particular DNA sequence, engineering the precise binding energy landscape remains challenging. We also found that it is possible to engineer ZF – DNA affinity precisely and independently of sequence specificity and that in silico modeling can explain some of the observed affinity differences. APE-MITOMI is a generic approach that should facilitate fundamental studies in protein biophysics, and protein design/engineering.
