In vitro evolution refers to the synthesis of macromolecules with particular properties based on principles of molecular evolution. It involves artificially selecting and evolving molecules in a controlled laboratory setting, rather than in a natural environment. This process can be applied to various types of molecules, including but not limited to proteins.
