1. A method for screening a protein library for a protein having a desired activity, the method comprising:

  • a) providing a plurality of nucleic acids, each nucleic acid having a predefined sequence, at a distinct feature of a solid support;

    b) expressing in vitro a plurality of proteins from the plurality of nucleic acids;

    c) exposing each of the plurality of proteins with two single stranded oligonucleotides having complementary sequences, each oligonucleotide having a reactant and a fluorophore;

    d) detecting the fluorescence of the protein-reactant-oligonucleotide-fluorophore complexes; and

    e) isolating the complexes showing detectable fluorescence energy transfer, thereby isolating the proteins having the desired enzymatic activity.
