phage display

I of II: phage display

Phage display was created by George P. Smith in 1985 as a method for presenting polypeptides on the surface of lysogenic filamentous bacteriophages. Since then, this method has become one of the most effective ways for producing large amounts of peptides, proteins and antibodies. This technology is based on the fact that phage phenotype and genotype are physically linked.

The trio took home chemistry’s top honor for developing techniques, directed evolution and phage display, that identify useful new enzymes, antibodies, and more.

Lot of chemistry fans were rooting for lithium-ion-battery guru John Goodenough to be tapped for the 2018 prize, but I'm sure we all are excited about the impactful chemistry involved in this year's nominees.
