  • Peptide library and screening method
    Patent number: 6156511
    Abstract: A random peptide library constructed by transforming host cells with a collection of recombinant vectors that encode a fusion protein comprised of a DNA binding protein and a random peptide and also encode a binding site for the DNA. binding protein can be used to screen for novel ligands. The screening method results in the formation of a complex comprising the fusion protein bound to a receptor through the random peptide ligand and to the recombinant DNA vector through the DNA binding protein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 21, 1998
    Date of Patent: December 5, 2000
    Assignee: Affymax Technologies N.V.
    Inventors: Peter J. Schatz, Millard G. Cull, Jeff F. Miller, Willem Peter Christiaan Stemmer, Christian M. Gates
