Protein function microarrays based on self-immobilizing and self-labeling fusion proteins

Kai Johnsson, India Christina Sielaff, Harm-Anton Klok, Anke Arnold, Stefano Tugulu

Protein microarrays are an attractive approach for the high-throughput analysis of protein function, but their impact on proteomics has been limited by the technical difficulties associated with their generation. Here we demonstrate that fusion proteins of ...
