Abstract:
Functional protein microarrays allow fast, straightforward, and efficient high-throughput screening of protein-protein interactions. The microarray approach has outpaced other interaction methods, such as yeast two-hybrid screens, in part because of the vast amounts of information that can be obtained during a single assay. This protocol describes how to perform a binding assay for a protein of interest using a proteome microarray composed of thousands of functional, recombinant proteins adhered to a microchip.

Proteomics
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...
