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 ...

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, ...

In this issue, Gishizky and coworkers describe yet another use for phage display—a method for mapping protein–protein interactions that is faster than two-hybrid systems and that allows the ...
