Applications of Protein Array in Diagnostics, Genomic and Proteomics
Microarray technology can simultaneously analyze thousands of parameters in a single experiment. Micro-point of capture molecules are fixed into ranks on a solid support and exposed to samples containing corresponding binding molecules. Complex formation in each micro-point can be detected by the readout system, which is based on fluorescence, chemiluminescence, mass spectrometry, radioactive or electrochemistry. Miniaturization and parallelization binding assays, whose analysis power can be also enlarged by microarray gene expression analysis, is sensitive. These systems can be used to detect the degree of hybridization and immobilized DNA microarray probes will be exposed to complementary target. Currently, the development of protein array has demonstrated its applications in enzyme-substrate, DNA- protein and different types of protein - protein interactions. In this post, we will discuss the capture-molecule-ligand analysis, analyze its theoretical advantages and disadvantage and its influence in diagnostics, genomic and proteomics.
