The present invention provides a system and method for assessing the fidelity of a synthetic peptide population including interrogating a population of peptide features in the presence of a receptor having an affinity for a plurality of binder sequences. A first amino acid is at a defined position within a first one of the binder sequences, and the population of peptide features includes a first control peptide feature synthesized to have an amino acid sequence including the first one of the binder sequences. The system and method further includes detecting a signal output characteristic of an interaction of the receptor with the first control peptide feature. The signal output is indicative of the fidelity of incorporation of the first amino acid into the first control peptide at the defined position within the first one of the binder sequences.

System and method for analysis of peptide synthesis fidelity

The present invention provides a system and method for assessing a synthetic peptide population including interrogating a population of peptide features in the presence of a receptor having an affinity for a binder sequence. The population of peptide features is synthesized over a plurality of synthesis periods and includes a plurality of control peptide features synthesized to have an amino acid sequence including the binder sequence. The control peptide features include a first feature synthesized beginning with a first one of the synthesis periods, and a second feature synthesized beginning after the first one of the synthesis periods such that synthesis of the second control peptide feature is delayed by at least one synthesis period. The method further includes detecting a signal output characteristic of an interaction of the receptor with the control peptide features, the signal output indicative of the fidelity of synthesis of the population of peptide features.

System and method for longitudinal analysis of peptide synthesis

The invention provides novel peptide binders for streptavidin (SA), Taq polymerase and several human proteins: Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), thrombin, Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF&#x3b1;), and Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator (uPA).

Specific peptide binders to proteins identified via systematic discovery, maturation and extension process

The present disclosure provides a method of identifying a peptide antigen, including contacting an antibody-comprising composition to a peptide microarray having an array surface and a plurality of feature pairs disposed thereon. Each of the feature pairs includes a first feature of wild-type peptides having a defined sequence and a second feature of mutant peptides having the defined sequence with a single amino acid mutation. Each of the wild-type peptides and the mutant peptides has an array-coupled terminus coupled to the array surface and an opposing free terminus, and the position of the amino acid mutation in the mutant peptides is located closer to the array-coupled terminus of the mutant peptides than the free terminus. The method further includes detecting binding of an antibody in the antibody-comprising composition to at least one of the feature pairs on the peptide microarray, and identifying feature pairs exhibiting differential binding.
