Positional Scanning Library |
|
Positional scanning library is an important tool for peptide sequence optimization. It identifies amino acids of interest at a given position or positions and substitutes the amino acid(s) at that position with all other natural amino acids one at a time. It generates high value data by locating potential more favorable residue(s) at specified position(s) for enhanced peptide activity.
In particular, positional scanning library has been used to identify T-cell epitopes from complex mixtures of proteins. In addition, this type of library can also be used to locate substrates with interdependent subsite with only minimum synthesis and screening. |
