PEPCHIPOMICS · High-Density Peptide MicroArrays and Parallel On-line Detection of Peptide-Ligand Interactions

Proteins are crucial structural and functional elements of life, and frequent targets of intervention. Short protein sequences, conventionally defined as peptides, have emerged as indispensable tools in biotechnology: peptides may represent short linear protein structures, and in some cases they even mimic more complex discontinuous structures. Custom-made synthetic peptides cost down to ca. 30 EURO (decamer, few mg, moderate purity)
