A peptide library is a tool for studying proteins. A peptide library contains a great number of peptides that have a systematic combination of amino acids. Usually, the peptide library is synthesized on a solid phase, mostly on resin, which can be made as a flat surface or beads. The peptide library provides a powerful tool for drug design, protein-protein interactions, and other biochemical and pharmaceutical applications.
Synthetic peptide libraries are synthesized without utilizing phage or other biological systems. At least five subtypes of these libraries exist, and the distinguishing characteristic is the method of synthesis of each library. The subtypes are (1) truncation peptide libraries, (2)random libraries, (3)alanine scanning libraries, (4)scrambled peptide libraries, and (5)overlapping peptide libraries.
