Abstract

We screened SMG7-binding peptides with phage display and docking simulation analysis. Although a consensus motif was absent in the phage display-derived candidates, we succeeded to find a peptide CDDRPPKSC, which can bind specifically to SMG7. We conclude that docking simulation helps to find high-affinity peptides efficiently, even if the phage display-screened candidates lack a consensus region.
