Peptide Microarray

A Peptide Microarray is a tool used to analyze the interactions between proteins in a laboratory setting. It is most commonly used to study the activity of enzymes and to identify antibody epitopes. The microarray consists of a small collection of peptides (short pieces of proteins) that are synthetically produced and attached to a solid surface. These peptides can then be used to label proteins, which can be detected and visualized by a microscope. This technology is useful for many research areas, including drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and therapeutic development. With its advanced sensitivity and specificity, the peptide microarray can also be used to monitor the progress of drug treatments and identify new therapeutic targets.
