Abstract: The present invention provides methods for constructing peptide construct sets and methods of use of these peptide construct sets in assay systems for peptide analysis, and in particular for use in high throughput peptide analysis. The methods allow for analysis of large sets of peptide constructs in a cost-effective manner, employing molecular biological techniques that are both robust and easily parallelized. Thus, the methods allow for the construction of peptide construct sets encompassing, e.g., the human proteome.
