The Promise of Phage Display: Customized Affinity and Specificity
Virus particles, called phage, can be genetically engineered to manufacture and display various compounds on their surfaces. When large collections of phage are modified in this way, libraries of >1010 compounds can be produced and screened. Gregory A. Weiss and Reginald M. Penner of the University of California Irvine describe how this "phage display" machinery can be applied to sensors for analytes from Salmonella typhimurium to TNT.

Welcome!
Welcome to
the central online resource for the analytical sciences! Our alliance with the
American Chemical Society and partnership with the
Analytical Sciences Digital Library
(ASDL) helps us to bring up to date information and useful resources to those
practicing and learning about scientific measurement.
We encourage you to visit often as our
site develops with the goal of providing the most relevant online information
and services while building an online community of
scientists from all areas.
You will find information about the
division, its awards, publications and professional opportunities at this web
site.
We also present links to other sites of
interest to analytical chemists.
