This video demonstrates a method to study protein-drug interactions using QCM biosensor-based biopanning of the T7 phage-displayed peptide library. The biopanning of phages displaying a specific peptide on the QCM biosensor allows specific isolation of high-affinity peptides, followed by amino acid sequencing, which helps to identify specific interaction sites on the target protein.
Protocol
NOTE: The following are the steps for screening drug-recognizing T7 phages using a QCM biosensor and recovering the screened phages via E. coli (BLT5615) infection. The protocols for the synthesis of a derivative of a small molecule that forms a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) and for the construction of the T7 phage-displayed 15-mer random peptide library can be found elsewhere. 1. Preparation of the QCM sensor chip Attach a ceramic sensor…
Representative Results
Figure 1: Schematic representation of the QCM biosensor-based biopanning of the T7 phage-displayed peptide library. A T7 phage library that displays random peptides is injected into the cuvette containing the buffer (under stirring) where the QCM biosensor chip is immersed and the frequency is stabilized. After monitoring the frequency reduction due to the binding of T7 phages to…
