Aga2-fusion protein binding to yeast cell by Aga1. Image provided by Invitrogen. Phage display systems, reviewed in a recent issue of The Scientist, 1 have proven enormously useful for the detection ...

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 ...

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 ...
