Abstract

Methods are disclosed whereby protease activity is directly linked to replication of viral display packages containing protease-encoding polynucleotides in target cells. The methods can be used, inter alia, to identify proteases, including previously undiscovered proteases or variants of known proteases which may have altered substrate specificity.
