Quantitative Peptide Microarray Technology
By printing different sets of peptides on a microarray, this technology can be used for defining protein binding specificity, illustrating protein-protein interactions, determining epitopes recognized by antibodies, and identifying substrates of various enzymes.
Scientists at UC San Diego have developed a microarray technology providing a quantitative, high-throughput, and cost-effective way to conduct proteomics measurements. The present invention employs a microarray technology that prints peptides on a glass surface thereby significantly reducing the size of the array. It requires using fewer peptides than traditional methods, whereby thousands of peptides can be easily printed on one DNA microarray-sized slide, compared to the existing technology’s limit of only tens of peptides on the same surface area. This approach requires a small quantity of protein for analysis, which is particularly useful in disease diagnosis, where sample size is limited. Additionally, quantitative protein-peptide interactions (binding affinities) may be measured from fluorescence probe intensities.

Title: Peptide microarray and method of use
Usefulness: Peptide microarray and method of use
Summary: The peptide microarray is useful for epitope mapping; for drug screening or vaccine development; and, in combination with computational predictions, for identifying modified peptides, where the modified peptides are methylated or acetylated peptides corresponding to post-translational modification (PTM) proteins that regulate lysine methylation. The microarray and method are useful for identifying one or more binding peptides interacting with a protein of interest or its domain (all claimed). The vaccine may be used for autoimmune diseases and allergies.
Novelty: Peptide microarray useful for epitope mapping, for drug screening or vaccine development, and for identifying modified peptides, comprises a solid support surface and predicted unique binding peptides
