Research interest
Technological Development of the Peptide Array Technologies
FIGURE
PEPTIDE ARRAYS The basic point of this technology is the simultaneous display of a systematic collection of peptides on a planar support, on which numerous bimolecular interaction assays can be carried out under homogeneous conditions. The combination of SPOT peptide synthesis (steps 1 to 4) with appropriate immobilization techniques on glass supports (steps 5 and 6) is wide spread. The SPOT technology provides low-scale but high-throughput synthesis, while immobilization of pre-synthesized peptides offers the benefit of a "chemical" purification step and flexible array design. Additionally, the glass support is compatible with fluorescence detection and offers the possibility to miniaturize binding assays. Beyond economy, the later point is essential for quantitative measurements at the steady-state of binding activity, as has been described [Ekins 1998] and can be proven by the mass-action law.
