Summary This new book aims to enable researchers to design and undertake all aspects of a phage display project, from designing an experimental strategy and constructing a library to performing selections and analyzing the results. All of the protocols and chapters are extensively cross-referenced, allowing readers to move beyond the specific examples provided in order to customize the procedures for their own protein or selection system of interest. Phage Display is an up-to-date, . comprehensive and integrated experimental guide to the technique, which is essential reading for anyone currently using
