In the search for synthetic mimics of proteins, we developed a high-throughput platform utilizing the unique chemistry of selenolate on the side chain of synthetic polypeptides. The method is amenable to automation and with the assists of machine learning, functional polypeptides with desired catalytic activity were identified at an much improved rate and efficiency.
