Overview Service Process Examples and Solutions Frequently Asked Questions

Overview

Phase Display Screening is a technique used to screen and identify proteins or peptides with specific functions. It utilizes phage display technology to display multiple variants of target proteins or peptides, and identifies variants with specific performance or activity through screening.

The experimental method process is as follows:

Construction of phage display library: Insert the coding sequence of the target protein or peptide into the phage genome, and amplify it with bacterial infection to form a library containing a large number of phage particles.
Binding to target molecule: Combine bacteriophage particles in the library with the target molecule, and find binding bacteriophage particles within it.
Screening and extraction: By screening and elution, the phage particles that bind to the target molecule are isolated and further amplified.
Verify specific performance or activity: Determine the selected bacteriophage particles to verify their specific function or activity.
Amplification and expression: The selected bacteriophage particles are amplified and expressed to obtain proteins or peptide segments with specific performance or activity.

Through this process, proteins or peptides with specific functions can be quickly and efficiently screened, providing important experimental techniques for drug research, biological research, and other fields.

Service Process

The process of phage display screening involves several critical and interrelated steps:

Project Consultation: Collaborating with researchers to define specific screening requirements, including the target molecule, library size, and selection criteria.
Library Construction: Constructing large and diverse libraries of protein or peptide variants using techniques such as random mutagenesis, DNA shuffling, or synthetic library design.
Phage Display Library Creation: Cloning the library into a phage vector to display the variants on the surface of bacteriophages.
Screening and Selection: Performing high-throughput screening and selection based on binding affinity, specificity, or activity through biopanning.
Hit Identification: Isolating phage particles displaying molecules with desired properties from the screened population.
Characterization and Validation: Characterizing the selected variants to confirm their improved properties using methods such as ELISA, binding assays, and functional assays.
Optimization and Iteration: Refining the selected variants through additional rounds of mutagenesis and screening to further enhance their properties.
Reporting and Consultation: Providing a detailed report of the findings and offering further consultation to interpret the results and plan subsequent research steps.
