Expanding phage display technology with luminescence

Abstract

[Excerpt] The -omics Era has contributed to the disclosure of genes coding for known and novel biologically active peptides. The interaction of those peptides with desired targets can be studied using phage display, mostly using phagemids as vectors. However, complex and time-consuming procedures are usually needed for purification and validation of desired phages. So, a vector that would present the capacity to easily confirm and detect a certain funct ion would be a step forward in display technology. [...]
