Phage display is an analytical technique used to study protein-protein interactions and the relationship between a protein and the encoding DNA. Phage display begins by incorporating the protein of ...

In the early and mid-1980s, scientists used phages to express recombinant proteins. The protein was retained inside the virions, so screening required growing viral plaques, creating a stamp of these ...

Chemists are taking a p[h]age from bacteria's playbook in order to beat viruses at their own game and develop new drugs to fight cancer and a host of other human diseases in the process. Chemists at ...

Researchers have mapped out what a commonly-used form of phage looks like, which will help design better uses in future. New insights into the structure of phages will enable researchers to develop ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Bacteriophage - Online Event (17th-19th of January, 2017)" webinar to their offering. This annual event will discuss ...

Determining functions of novel gene products identified in genome sequencing efforts has become an important scientific challenge. Identifying proteins that interact with novel gene products can help ...

Scientists insert variable DNA sequences coding for their proteins of interest into plasmids that carry a phage coat protein gene, an antibiotic resistance gene, and a packaging signal. Then they ...

Mapping the individual amino acids where antibodies bind (epitopes) to target viral proteins (antigens) is crucial to predicting how target proteins may evolve to escape antibody binding, improve ...

Reviewed by Michael Greenwood, M.Sc. In phage-display, a gene encoding the surface protein of a bacteriophage is replaced with a gene encoding a novel protein. The technique can be used in drug ...

Serological tests, also known as “antibody tests,” are one of the foundations of clinical medicine, with a particularly important role in infectious disease. They can detect active infections, but can ...
