Screening test compounds binding to phage-displayed protein domain
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240018509A1) describes a method for screening test compounds that bind to a phage-displayed protein domain of interest. The method involves contacting a reference ligand immobilized on a solid support with the protein domain of interest in the presence and absence of the test compound. The binding of the protein domain to the reference ligand is then detected, with a decrease in binding indicating that the test compound binds to the protein domain. The protein domain of interest in this method is specifically identified as an SH2 domain, with the test compounds being small molecules or candidate pharmaceuticals.
Furthermore, the method includes steps for identifying test compounds that bind to a phage-displayed SH2 domain of interest. This involves incubating the immobilized reference ligand with the SH2 domain in the presence and absence of the test compound, followed by detecting the binding using qPCR amplification. The patent application specifies that the SH2 domain can be a human SH2 domain and that the test compound can bind to specific peptide sequences within the compound or the reference ligand. Additionally, the method allows for testing multiple test compounds simultaneously and at different concentrations, providing a comprehensive screening approach for identifying compounds that interact with the SH2 domain of interest.
