M13 phage display system for protein interaction

The M13 phage display system for protein interaction studies utilizes filamentous bacteriophages to present peptides or antibodies on coat proteins like pIII and pVIII. This method enables precise mapping of epitopes, identification of ligands, and exploration of receptor binding. Researchers benefit from its versatility in drug discovery, recombinant antibody production, and diagnostic development. Proper phage handling and display system design are essential for reliable and reproducible experimental outcomes.
