Scientists insert variable DNA sequences coding for their proteins of interest into plasmids that carry a phage coat protein gene, an antibiotic resistance gene, and a packaging signal. Then they ...

While Smith and his colleagues’ peptide libraries demonstrated the potential of phage display, the sequences were randomly generated. Scientists did not have control over the amino acid frequencies, ...

Filamentous bacteriophage fd can display multiple copies of foreign peptides in the N-terminal region of its major coat protein pVIII, 2,700 copies of which make up the virus capsid. Here we show ...

In a new study, researchers have screened nine heptapeptide sequences from a random peptide library using phage display technology, with S. aureus 6538 as the target bacterium. The work is ...
