چکیده
Membrane-bound proteins represent the single most important class of drug targets. This article discusses the issues surrounding fabrication of membrane-protein microarrays by conventional robotic pin printing techniques. Ligand binding selectivity and specificity to G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) microarrays are presented. The potential applications of these arrays for drug screening are discussed.

Low Cost Microfabricated Silicon Chip for Membrane Protein Monitoring
In this paper we show the feasibility on using silicon batch-fabricated non planar microsized aperture for the monitoring of membrane proteins inserted in a lipid bilayer reconstituted on this aperture. A low cost chemical etching protocol was used for micromachining the pore. This work is a first step towards integrated silicon biochips designed for membrane protein recording.
متن کاملAdvances in Testing Techniques for Digital Microfluidic Biochips
With the advancement of digital microfluidics technology, applications such as on-chip DNA analysis, point of care diagnosis and automated drug discovery are common nowadays. The use of Digital Microfluidics Biochips (DMFBs) in disease assessment and recognition of target molecules had become popular during the past few years. The reliability of these DMFBs is crucial when they are used in vari...
متن کاملMicrofluidic systems with ion-selective membranes.
When integrated into microfluidic chips, ion-selective nanoporous polymer and solid-state membranes can be used for on-chip pumping, pH actuation, analyte concentration, molecular separation, reactive mixing, and molecular sensing. They offer numerous functionalities and are hence superior to paper-based devices for point-of-care biochips, with only slightly more investment in fabrication and m...
متن کاملDesign of a Low-Cost DNA Biochip Using Copper Electrode
The need for affordable and disposable DNA biochips that can perform in situ analysis is increasing daily. Amperometric detection (AD) is one of the most popular detection techniques used in DNA sensing. An important component of these biochips is the working electrode that needs to be carefully designed to achieve good sensitivity. At present, most AD biochips use platinum (Pt) or gold (Au), s...
متن کاملMicrofluidic approaches for epithelial cell layer culture and characterisation.
In higher eukaryotes, epithelial cell layers line most body cavities and form selective barriers that regulate the exchange of solutes between compartments. In order to fulfil these functions, the cells assume a polarised architecture and maintain two distinct plasma membrane domains, the apical domain facing the lumen and the basolateral domain facing other cells and the extracellular matrix. ...
