Abstract

Peptide probes have widespread applications in disease diagnostics. The demand for peptides ligands with high affinity and high specificity toward various targets has surged in the biomedical field in recent years. The traditional peptide screening procedure involves selection, sequencing, and characterization steps, and each step is manual and tedious. Herein, we developed a system which can quickly screen the peptide probe and conduct self-assembly to make nanomaterials for biomarker detection.
