Functional protein microarrays

Curr Opin Chem Biol. 2002 Feb;6(1):81-5. doi: 10.1016/s1367-5931(01)00281-2.

Abstract

Microarrays of immobilized functional proteins have the potential to increase dramatically the throughput of proteomic analysis. Micro-immunoassays, in which biological samples are exposed to arrays of immobilized antibodies, can be used for protein expression profiling. In addition, protein function can be elucidated by performing binding and enzymatic assays on arrays of biologically active proteins.
