Abstract: A selective targeting method is disclosed which comprises contacting a peptide library with an anti-target to allow the peptides to bind; separating non-binding peptides from the anti-target bound peptides, contacting the non-binding anti-target peptides with a target allowing the unbound peptides to bind with the target to form a target-bound peptide complex; separating the target-bound peptide complex from peptides which do not bind to the target, and identifying the target-bound peptides. In one embodiment the target is skin or hair. In another embodiment the anti-target is hair when the target is skin, and the anti-target is skin when the target is hair.

Abstract: The invention is directed to peptides. Specifically, the invention is directed to peptides which bind skin and do not bind hair. Alternatively, the invention is drawn to peptides which bind hair and do not bind skin.

Abstract: The present application relates to peptides which bind to tannin, polyphenolic or anthocyanin compounds, and particularly to tea and wine stains on a fabric or other surface. The invention also concerns binding peptide conjugates which includes a binding peptide coupled to an agent and the use of the binding peptide conjugate for delivering an agent to a desired target.

Abstract: The present application relates to peptides which bind to a target stain, phenol oxidizing enzyme-binding peptide complexes wherein the binding peptide is attached to the C-terminus of the phenol oxidizing enzyme or is inserted or substituted into the phenol oxidizing enzyme. In a preferred embodiment the phenol oxidizing enzyme is a laccase specifically Stachybotrys oxidase B and variants thereof. The invention provides expression vectors comprising the phenol oxidizing enzyme-binding peptide complex as well as host cells comprising the vectors.
