  • Title: Designing scaffolds of peptides for phage display libraries.
    Author: Uchiyama F, Tanaka Y, Minari Y, Tokui N.
    Journal: J Biosci Bioeng; 2005 May; 99(5):448-56. PubMed ID: 16233816.
    Abstract:
    Phage display is a powerful method for the discovery of peptide ligands that are used for analytical tools, drug discovery, and target validations. Phage display technology can produce a huge number of peptides and generate novel peptide ligands. Recently, phage display technology has successfully managed to create peptide ligands that bind to pharmaceutically difficult targets such as the erythropoietin receptor. As a result of the structural analysis of their ligands, we found that the conformational design of peptides in library is important for selecting high-affinity ligands that bind to every target from a phage peptide library. Key issues concern constraints on the conformation of peptides on the phage and the development of chemically synthesized peptides derived from peptides on phage. This review discusses studies related to the conformation of peptides selected from phage display peptide libraries in addition to the conversion from peptides to non-peptides.
