Usage and Biology

CPX, or Circularly permuted OmpX, was developed as a bacterial display methodology for N- and C- terminal display. It has been shown to enable rapid screening of very large peptide libraries with high precision and efficiency. OmpX possesses four extracellular loops, with loops 2 and 3 forming a semi rigid β-sheets protruding from the cell surface. The native N- and C-termini were fused together by a GGSG linker, and the newly formed N and C termini reside on the cell surface.
