Abstract excerpt
Periplasmic expression with cytometric screening (PECS) is a powerful and rapid "display-less" technology for isolating ligand-binding proteins from diverse libraries. Escherichia coli expressing a library of proteins secreted into the periplasmic space are incubated with a fluorescent conjugate of the target ligand. Under the proper conditions, ligands as large as about 10 kDa can equilibrate within the...
