Functional peptide arrays for high-throughput chemical biology based applications

Constant advancements in printing technology, informatics, surface modification strategies and peptide chemistries mean that peptide arrays have, like DNA arrays, become even more miniaturised and complex in terms of not only the numbers of peptides immobilised but also their lengths. As a result peptide-based arrays have become a powerful tool in the interrogation, examination and perturbation of a host of biological systems.
