Facile synthesis of metal-chelating peptides on chip for protein array

A unique peptide sequence of HGGHHG screening from a combinatorial synthetic peptide library showed a good chelating ability to bind a transition metal on a chip better than hexa-His peptide. It was directly conjugated with a His-Tagged proteins onto a chip in a mild aqueous solution and can be used this chip as a high throughput technique for protein array in order to detect and purify the His-Tagged proteins.
