Abstract:
One of the critical issues in the generation of a protein microarray lies in the choice of immobilization strategies, which ensure proteins are adhered to the glass surface while properly retaining their native biological activities. We previously developed intein-mediated strategies for protein biotinylation and site-specific protein microarray generation. Herein, we report new findings of these strategies, which improve the biotinylation efficiency of proteins by up to 10-folds.
