DNA-encoded libraries facilitate the discovery of ligands that interact with biomolecules but such technologies do not take full advantage of the principles of Darwinian selection. Now, libraries of conformationally constrained peptides (Dsuprabodies) have been assembled using a strategy that allows for iterative cycles of selection, amplification and diversification. This method was validated with selections against streptavidin and PD-L1.
