Generation of a Large Peptide Phage Display Library by Self-Ligation of Whole-Plasmid PCR Product

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong, Vanessa Carle, Cristina Diaz Perlas, Kaycie Marie Butler

The success of phage display, used for developing target-specific binders based on peptides and proteins, depends on the size and diversity of the library screened, but generating large libraries of phage-encoded polypeptides remains challenging. New pepti ...

Bicyclic peptide ligands pulled out of cysteine-rich peptide libraries

Christian Heinis, Petr Leiman, Inmaculada Rentero Rebollo, Shiyu Chen, Jeremy Touati, Julia Morales Sanfrutos

Bicyclic peptide ligands were found to have good binding affinity and target specificity. However, the method applied to generate bicyclic ligands based on phage-peptide alkylation is technically complex and limits its application to specialized laboratori ...
