PEPTIDE LIBRARIES

Affinity selection and sequencing

Nature Chemical Biology volume 15, pages 320–321 (2019)Cite this article

Subjects

Powerful combinatorial peptide library methods allow the discovery of peptide leads from diverse libraries. A new platform based on tandem mass spectrometry peptide sequencing coupled with high-performance size-exclusion chromatography enables identification of high-affinity peptidic ligands from focused libraries.
