Que son codones degenerados NNK y NNS?

Codones con mezcla de nucleotidos. N = A/T/G/C (4), K = G/T (2), S = G/C (2). NNK genera 32 codones que codifican los 20 aminoacidos + 1 stop. NNS similar. Usados para crear diversidad en librerias de peptidos.

Cual es la diferencia entre phage display y yeast display?

Phage display usa bacteriofagos para expresar peptidos en superficie del virus. Mayor tamano de libreria (10^9). Yeast display usa levaduras, menor tamano (10^7) pero permite sorting por FACS y mejor plegamiento de peptidos eucariotas.

Que es deep sequencing de librerias?

Usar next-generation sequencing (NGS) para secuenciar todas las variantes en una libreria antes y despues de seleccion. Permite calcular enriquecimiento de cada secuencia, identificando las que mejoran sin necesidad de sintesis individual.

Por que es importante resintetizar hits individualmente?

En librerias, el contexto puede afectar actividad. Concentraciones no son precisas. Puede haber errores de secuencia. Resintesis individual confirma que el peptido aislado tiene la actividad reportada y no es artefacto del screening.
