Abstract
A method for developing capture agents for target proteins employs a compound library to find cyclic peptide sequences that bind the target protein. The target protein is also reacted with a clickable group-provider reagent to provide the protein with clickable groups. The compounds in the library are provided with complementary clickable groups that bind the clickable group on the target protein when the peptide sequences bind the target protein. In some embodiments, the cyclic peptide sequences that bind the target protein are incorporated into constructs having one or more arms that can serve as capture agents or potential treatments against the pathogens from which the target protein is derived. Some embodiments provide pharmaceutical compositions for immunoassays, diagnostics, therapeutics or the like, that employ the constructs.
