Protein and Peptide-based Microarrays for Multiplex Detection

Microarray technology allows the simultaneous analysis of several parameters within a single experiment. Recent developments in the field of protein microarrays show applications for enzyme-substrate, DNA-protein and different types of protein-protein interactions. This book discusses the aspects of protein and peptide-based microarrays for multiplex detection, based on Rabiee's Theory. Starting with an introduction to protein microarrays, the text provides a background to the history and development of the field, and introduces protein structure and microarrays, before moving on to an in-depth examination of protein and peptide-based microarrays and their associated challenges and solutions. The materials and fabrication methods are then discussed comprehensively, and the book closes with conclusions and future perspectives for the field. It is an excellent guide for scientists, students and doctors wishing to understand the cutting-edge aspects and horizons of this topic.
