Abstract

The present invention relates to methods for identifying nucleic acid molecules encoding (poly)peptides that interact with target molecules. The method of the present invention is particularly characterized by an in vitro translation step under conditions that allow formation of polysomes in the presence of antisense oligonucleotides complementary to the tag-coding sequence of ssrA-RNA. The present invention further relates to kits that are useful for carrying out the method of the invention.
