abstract：:In vitro selection from molecular libraries has rapidly come of age as a protein-engineering tool. Dramatic increases in protein affinity can be engineered using phage-display libraries, and specific antibodies can be selected directly from a single 'naïve' library of their genes. Repertoires of small molecules are a ...
