The sequencing phase of the human genome project is now near completion, but then what? An even harder challenge remains — to identify the structures and functions of all proteins encoded in the ...

Protein microarrays are one aspect of highly automated, large-scale biological screening technologies, the other is nucleic acid arrays. As DNA arrays reveal their origin in Southern blotting ...

Wildlife biologist Marissa Irwin had no idea that cells in her body had gone haywire. In response to scrambled protein signaling pathways, certain cells turned cancerous and grew into tumors that took ...

A new method for identifying specific proteins in blood or tissue samples could some day be used by doctors to help diagnose diseases and develop better drugs. The technique builds up a molecular ...

Since their inception in 1995, DNA microarrays have become the icon of the genomics revolution. Everyone with any interest has become familiar with the images of precise rows and columns of colored ...

A designed polypeptide scaffold contains a surface immobilization domain and a target capture domain for flexible protein arraying. 'Microarray' might just be the hottest buzzword in biology today.
