✦ Synopsis
Both chemists and biochemists have great interest in creating peptides and proteins with desired structure, recognition and catalytic properties. Recently, two techniques have been developed that afford functional selection of proteins entirely in vitro: mRNA-protein fusions, and ribosome display. Improvements in both methods have allowed peptide and protein libraries of unprecedented size (1011-l 01s different members) to be generated and screened for function.

An enzyme-ribosome-mRNA complex was specifically purified by binding to the immobilized enzyme substrate and the cDNA was cloned in a single-tube reaction by one-step reverse transcription-PCR. The ganglioside GM3, used by sialyltransferase II (ST-II) as a substrate, was coated on a 96-well microtit
