Abstract

Proteomic screening with small molecule microarrays can be a powerful tool in conjunction with various forward chemical genetics screening and high-throughput phenotype assays. Small molecule microarray screening can provide high quality information from the direct binding interaction between proteins of interest and a collection of small molecules in a high-throughput fashion. To realize this potential of small molecule microarray in the postgenomic era, the immobilization of small molecules on the surface of microscope glass slides has been a critical step, to apply small molecule library in protein screening assays and dissecting the protein network. In this chapter, we would like to focus on the protocol for the systematic immobilization of synthetic drug-like small molecules containing either specific functional handles or common functional groups.
