title: Peptide aptamers against titanium-based implants identified through phage display.
abstract: Commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) is widely used in the field of long-term clinical oral implantology owing to its ability to allow close bone-implant apposition. The optimization of its function based on artificial proteins has become a key issue in the development of improved cp-Ti implants. Here, we set out to identify peptide aptamers with preferential adsorption towards titanium-based implants through the phage display methodology. Fifteen sequences were selected in the third round of biopanning. One sequence, ATWVSPY (named TBP1), had a 40% repetition rate and exhibited the strongest binding affinity to cp-Ti disks. Ten sequences were selected in the fourth round, among which the repetition rate is 80% for TBP1 and 20% for TBP2 (GVGLPHT). The peptide aptamers against cp-Ti disks can provide an alternative method of functional coating for biomaterial surfaces.
