• PubMed Abstract: 
  

  The large size of macrocyclic peptides discovered by mRNA display can hinder therapeutic development. Using size-restricted RaPID libraries and analysis of 40 published datasets, we show that potent binders are more reliably identified from libraries with at least nine randomised residues, providing guidance for mRNA display screen design.
