Site Saturation Variant Libraries
20 Jun 2019Protein engineering screens using single site variant libraries allow researchers to explore a protein’s sequence space and investigate the relationship between sequence and protein structure and function. Many methods exist to generate variant libraries, but they generally have significant drawbacks and limitations. Twist Bioscience Site Saturation Variant Libraries leverage massively parallel oligonucleotide synthesis using a silicon-based DNA synthesis platform and extensive molecular biology expertise to systematically and precisely construct variant libraries. Twist libraries are NGS-verified to confirm that all desired variants are present in the correct ratios.

Compound LibrariesCompound libraries, or chemical libraries, are used in drug discovery for the identification of potential therapeutics compounds. Used in conjunction with high-throughput screening, the libraries of stored compounds are often generated for specific purposes as a drug target or disease model. Cheminformatics are commonly used when designing a compound library and software can be used to analyze the screening process. Protein ExpressionProtein expression is the utilization of cell machinery for the synthesis of proteins and has become a critical tool in biotherapeutic, genomic, and proteomic research. Produce recombinant proteins with expression vectors in combination with a host cell suitable for high-level protein expression. For production of toxic proteins, consider cell-free expression vectors. Create and monitor post-translational modifications with protein modification kits. Find the best protein expression products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Library GenerationLibrary generation refers to the construction of NGS libraries from RNA and DNA sources.ScreeningUsing robotics, data processing and control software, liquid handling devices and sensitive detectors, screening allows a researcher to quickly conduct millions of chemical, genetic or pharmacological tests.Protein BiologyThe analysis of protein expression, identity and function is vital for many areas of life science research and drug discovery. Some of the most commonly used techniques in protein analysis include Western blotting, electrophoresis and mass spectrometry.
