PERSPECTIVE Protein microarrays: challenges and promises
نویسنده
چکیده
2002 © Ashley Publications Ltd Genomics and proteomics are playing increasingly important roles as discovery tools in basic biological sciences and as diagnostic and rational therapeutic aids in the clinical arena. In recent years, high-density arrays of specified DNA sequences have gained popularity. Protein microarrays are at the forefront of this biochip revolution and promise the parallel examination of large numbers of proteins. These miniaturized arrays are currently being developed to facilitate high analytical resolution, detection sensitivity and sample throughput. Many challenges are presented by proteome scale manipulation of proteins, as there is currently no methodological equivalent to the gene chip for comparative proteomics.

Clinical proteomics: Promises, challenges and limitations of affinity arrays
After the establishment of DNA/RNA sequencing as a means of clinical diagnosis, the analysis of the proteome is next in line. As a matter of fact, proteome-based diagnostics is bound to be even more informative, since proteins are directly involved in the actual cellular processes that are responsible for disease. However, the structural variation and the biochemical differences between protein...

Grutters et al show that economic assessments can inform the development of new health technologies at an early stage. This is an important contribution to health services and policy research, which implies a “shift away” from the more traditional forms of academic health economic modeling. Because transforming established disciplinary traditions is both valuable and de...

Protein microarrays, on which thousands of discrete proteins are printed, provide a valuable platform for functional analysis of the proteome. They have been widely used for biomarker discovery and to study protein-protein interactions. The accomplishments of DNA microarray technology, which had enabled massive parallel studies of gene expression, sparked great interest for the development of p...
متن کاملUncovering quantitative protein interaction networks for mouse PDZ domains using protein microarrays.
One of the principal challenges in systems biology is to uncover the networks of protein-protein interactions that underlie most biological processes. To date, experimental efforts directed at this problem have largely produced only qualitative networks that are replete with false positives and false negatives. Here, we describe a domain-centered approach--compatible with genome-wide investigat...
