Generate 99% of Desired Variants
Protein engineering screens using single site variant libraries allow researchers to explore a protein’s sequence space and investigate the relationship between sequence and protein structure and function.
Twist Site Saturation Variant Library construction leverages massively parallel oligonucleotide synthesis using Twist's proprietary silicon-based DNA synthesis platform. Twist libraries are NGS-verified to confirm that all desired variants are present in the correct ratios.
KEY BENEFITS
Precisely Crafted Variant Libraries
- Complete control over codon usage (all 64 codons available)
- High uniformity of variant representation at every site
- No unwanted codons or premature stop codons
Verified Quality
- Rigorous quality control, including NGS verification of modified regions
- Sequence variant ratios documented
- Uniform distribution of user-defined variants
- No premature stop codons or unwanted codons
Flexibility
- Design all sequences, single or multiple domains and combinations— single, pairwise, or triple variants
- Modular synthesis system enables iteration of future libraries
- Greater flexibility than TRIM and the degenerate approach

Explore the Sequence Space
Site Saturation Libraries eliminate codon bias and unwanted substitutions unlike traditional methods such as degenerate and NNK approaches.
TRIM offers a poor repetitive yield, leading to <50% full-length product in a typical library whereas, Twist libraries yield more usable variants, increasing effective library size.
| ERROR PRONE PCR | DEGENERATE (NNK/NNS) |
TWIST SITE SATURATION VARIANT LIBRARIES |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Eliminates sequence bias | No | No | Yes |
| Number of codons available | Unknown | 32 | All 64 |
| Prevents undesirable motifs | No | No | Yes |
| Allows codon optimization | No | No | Yes |
| Avoids stop codons | No | Yes | Yes |
Highly Uniform Variant Libraries
Site Saturation Variant Libraries enable efficient sampling of a protein’s sequence space in screening assays.
This figure shows the observed distribution of amino acids across 65 positions in protein (19 intended variants per position) when built with Twist SSVLs versus error prone PCR. The bars represent a different amino acid position, with each color indicating the observed variant frequency. All variants are present in the expected ratios in the Twist Library.

START DESIGN NOW
Let’s get Started
The New Digital Library Design (DLD) Tool is your all in one solution to streamline, optimize, and expedite the DNA Library design and ordering process.
Step 1
Log into your account. If you don’t have one, it only takes a few minutes to set it up!
Step 2
Start to design your library in the new interactive libraries design tool which has a step by step “how to” wizard. With this option you can optimize your library in real time with validations on the fly and real-time pricing and receive an SOW at the end of the submission process.
Step 3
Once the quote is accepted by the customer, the Libraries Team will send the project to the production team
Note:
The Libraries Design Tool is not currently available in the APAC region. Please check with your local support team on availability date.
