BioMEMS and Biomedical Nanotechnology

  • 902 Accesses

Abstract

With the thrust of scientific endeavormoving from genomics to proteomics, the protein array provides a powerful means by which to examine hundreds to thousands of proteins in parallel. A result of the many genome projects has been the advance of automation and robotic procedures to manipulate biomolecules using a high-throughput, systematic approach. The promise of the protein microarray is the ability to interrogate a large number of proteins simultaneously in a high-density format for disease diagnosis, prognosis or efficacy of therapeutic regime as well as for biochemical analysis. Similar to aDNAmicroarray, each spot on a protein array can be identified based on its addressability on the planar surface.
