Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Multiple display techniques, including phage display, mRNA display, and ribosome display, have been used to expand the optogenetic toolbox beyond what nature provides. These techniques are most often applied to the development of binding partners that selectively recognize different conformational states of photoswitchable proteins. However, for some targets, in particular the spectrally diverse cyanobacteriochrome (CBCR) GAF domain family, the subtle differences between conformational states pose a significant challenge to discovering highly selective binders. We present an optimized phage display-based protocol designed to effectively capture these subtle changes. This optimized protocol applies high selection pressure by changing the elution method and tightening negative selection, leading to the enrichment of selective binders. Through multiple selection campaigns, we demonstrate the utility of this protocol for identifying highly selective binders.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
