  2. Phage display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_display

    Phage display is also a widely used method for in vitro protein evolution (also called protein engineering). As such, phage display is a useful tool in drug discovery. It is used for finding new ligands (enzyme inhibitors, receptor agonists and antagonists) to target proteins.

  3. Zinc finger chimera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_finger_chimera

    In order to determine the most appropriate sequence of amino acids in the alpha-helix of a zinc finger for binding to a given DNA sequence, a technique involving phage display may be employed. By altering the genome of selected bacteriophage, it is possible to create a phage that will display a ZFP as part of its protein coat.

  4. Bacterial display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_display

    Bacterial display (or bacteria display or bacterial surface display) is a protein engineering technique used for in vitro protein evolution. Libraries of polypeptides displayed on the surface of bacteria can be screened using flow cytometry or iterative selection procedures (biopanning). This protein engineering technique allows us to link the ...

  5. Ff phages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ff_phages

    George Smith and Greg Winter used f1 and fd for their work on phage display for which they were awarded a share of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. [8] Early experiments on Ff phages used M13 to identify gene functions, [ 9 ] [ 10 ] and M13 was also developed as a cloning vehicle, [ 11 ] so the name M13 is sometimes used as an informal ...

  7. Directed evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_evolution

    The red symbols indicate functional variants, the pale symbols indicate variants with reduced function. Directed evolution ( DE ) is a method used in protein engineering that mimics the process of natural selection to steer proteins or nucleic acids toward a user-defined goal. [ 1 ]

  8. Lambda phage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_phage

    The phage genes expressed in this dormant state code for proteins that repress expression of other phage genes (such as the structural and lysis genes) in order to prevent entry into the lytic cycle. These repressive proteins are broken down when the host cell is under stress, resulting in the expression of the repressed phage genes.

  9. John McCafferty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCafferty

    John McCafferty is a British scientist, one of the founders of Cambridge Antibody Technology alongside Sir Gregory Winter and David Chiswell. He is well known as one of the inventors of scFv antibody fragment phage display, [1] a technology that revolutionised the monoclonal antibody drug discovery.
