Abstract:
:The manufacture and use of protein microarrays with correctly folded and functional content presents significant challenges. Despite this, the feasibility and utility of such undertakings are now clear, and exciting progress has recently been demonstrated in the areas of content generation, printing strategies and protein immobilization. More importantly, we are now beginning to enjoy the fruits of these efforts as functional protein microarrays are being increasingly employed for biological discovery purposes. Recent examples of this include the characterization of autoantibody responses, antibody specificity profiling, protein-protein domain interaction profiling and a comprehensive characterization of coiled-coil interactions. The best, however, is yet to come.
