Biomedical applications of protein chips

Abstract

The development of microchips involving proteins has accelerated within the past few years. Although DNA chip technologies formed the precedent, many different strategies and technologies have been used because proteins are inherently a more complex type of molecule. This review covers the various biomedical applications of protein chips in diagnostics, drug screening and testing, disease monitoring, drug discovery (proteomics), and medical research. The proteomics and drug discovery section is further subdivided to cover drug discovery tools (on-chip separations, expression profiling, and antibody arrays), molecular interactions and signaling pathways, the identification of protein function, and the identification of novel therapeutic compounds. Although largely focused on protein chips, this review includes chips involving cells and tissues as a logical extension of the type of data that can be generated from these microchips.
