Abstract
We have previously reported the isolation and characterization of peptides binding to $TiO_{2}$ nanoparticles from phage display peptide libraries. One of the peptides (PEP9) was selected and mutant peptide-displaying phages were produced by alanine scanning mutagenesis. The mutant phages were subjected to binding analysis to $TiO_{2}$ nanoparticles. When the proline at residue 4 was substituted by alanine, the binding activity was reduced to $10\%$ of that of wild type PEP9. Substitution of valine at residue 2, serine at residue 3, and isoleucine at residue 5 also decreased the binding to $40\%$. Based on these observations, we concluded that the three dimensional structure generated by residues 2-5 was the critical factor for the binding between PEP9 and the nanoparticle.
