Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides methods and compositions for screening polypeptide libraries that include variants comprising unnatural amino acids. In addition, the invention provides vector packaging systems and methods for packaging a nucleic acid in a vector. Compositions of vectors produced by the methods and systems are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A recombinant polypeptide expression library with normalized expression levels of a plurality of expressed polypeptide variants comprising unnatural amino acids, wherein the library is expressed from an expression vector, the library comprising: a) a plurality of expressed target polypeptide variants, wherein at least one of the expressed target polypeptide variants comprises at least one unnatural amino acid residue, and b) a packaging or specificity pol…
