What are Peptimers™?
Peptimers™ are peptide-based aptamers: high affinity ligands composed of amino acid building blocks instead of the nucleic acid bases that make up RNA or DNA aptamers. Peptimers™ are another option offered by Aptagen to continually ‘Advance Aptamer Applications’.
Unlike single-chain antibodies generated by the phage display or biopanning process, peptimers™ are discovered through a process similar to aptamer SELEX, called mRNA display.
