Small Molecule Microarrays

This title examines ways in which small molecule microarray technology may be deployed for multiplexed screening and profiling. It details techniques for chemical libraries, peptide libraries and carbohydrate microarrays.

Small molecule microarrays (SMM) were introduced just a decade ago in 1999 and, within a short space of time, have already established themselves as a vibrant, next generation platform for high-throughput screening. Small Molecule Microarrays: Methods and Protocols showcases a collection of contributions guiding researchers toward ways in which small molecule microarray technology may be deployed for multiplexed screening and profiling. Organized by the categories of small molecules presented on the microarrays, this detailed volume describes in-depth techniques for chemical libraries, peptide libraries, and carbohydrate microarrays. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series, chapters contain brief introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, vital tips on troubleshooting this often difficult technology, and advice on avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Small Molecule Microarrays: Methods and Protocols provides meticulous depictions of key hands-on experience and seeks to inspire a future generation of microarray practitioners to take this significant technology forward.

Covers chemical libraries, peptide libraries, and carbohydrates with contributions from experts in the microarray field -Provides essential methods and skills learned through hands-on experience and feedback at the bench -Includes detailed notes highlighting tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known experimental pitfalls Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
