Phage display is a directed evolution technique used to select and optimize proteins (antibody fragments) or peptides with desired properties. In this method, libraries of phages (viruses that infect bacteria) are genetically modified to express a variety of peptides or proteins on their surface. By exposing these libraries to a specific target, only phages presenting peptides or proteins with a high affinity for the target are retained. These phages are then amplified and subjected to successive cycles of selection, progressively improving the desired interactions. The process of mutation and selection reproduces the principles of natural evolution, but in an accelerated and controlled way in the laboratory, enabling the creation of molecules with precise functions for applications in biotechnology and medicine. In general, all detection devices (miniaturized biosensors, sensors, etc.) require the development of molecules that recognize a particular target with high affinity and specificity.
