In the early and mid-1980s, scientists used phages to express recombinant proteins. The protein was retained inside the virions, so screening required growing viral plaques, creating a stamp of these ...

Chemists are taking a p[h]age from bacteria's playbook in order to beat viruses at their own game and develop new drugs to fight cancer and a host of other human diseases in the process. Chemists at ...

Mapping the individual amino acids where antibodies bind (epitopes) to target viral proteins (antigens) is crucial to predicting how target proteins may evolve to escape antibody binding, improve ...

Reviewed by Michael Greenwood, M.Sc. In phage-display, a gene encoding the surface protein of a bacteriophage is replaced with a gene encoding a novel protein. The technique can be used in drug ...

Company will combine this technology with ribosome display to increase speed and reliability of screening. Scil Proteins acquired a phage-display technology known as Tat Phage display from the German ...

mRNA display is a technique that can identify proteins which bind to specific regions in DNA. This method has several advantages over other methods, such as yeast-to-hybrid, immunoprecipitation, phage ...
