PEPTIDE APTAMERS


There is now a great deal of work at the Insitutute to use peptide aptamers, engineered protein molecules selected from combinatorial libraries, to dissect the function of specific genes and alleles, and to trace genetic pathways.  This work is funded by the National Insitute of General Medical Sciences of the US National Institutes of Health.  Here are some recent papers that describe it.
 Genetic selection of peptide aptamers that recognize and inhibit cyclin-dependent kinase 2
