Phage Display for DNA binding proteins?

[Soeren Jensby Nielsen]

Dear Paul

A few papers corcerning mutagenesis of already cloned Zinc-finger
 proteins in order to bind to new sequences has been published 
(one by Aaron Klug in Science I think), but what you really want is
 to stick a cDNA library onto a phage. The problem is that the gene III on-
ly allows cloning in the N-terminus, and then you run into the problem
 of stop codons derived from your cDNA unless you will settle for a
 library without full-length clones.
 cheers,
 Soeren
