Creative Proteomics is a leading microarray company that can provide global customers with suitable solutions in the field of microarrays. We provide leading peptide microarray products, services, and technologies for biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical research fields, and help peptidomics research to achieve high-throughput analysis at the molecular level. Our advantage lies in improving the analysis efficiency of peptidomics in the biomedical field, reducing costs for customers, and improving accuracy and efficiency.
Peptide Microarray
Peptide microarrays offer great potential as a screening tool for peptidomics experiments and have been widely used in fields ranging from immunological research to systems biology. Peptides are also short chains (primary structure) composed of amino acids, but their size (less than 100 amino acids) is usually much smaller than that of proteins with higher structures. Peptide microarrays have become a promising technique for simultaneous high-throughput analysis of peptide characteristics by allowing the parallel analysis of thousands of peptides in one run. The synthesized peptides are spotted in a grid layout on a glass slide, which allows screening of thousands of peptides in a single experiment with only a small amount of sample.
Compared with microarrays formed from full-length proteins, peptide microarrays have the advantage of requiring only a small amount of peptides. This means that the production method of chemically synthesized peptides in microarrays is more economical and more effective than proteins purified from biological sources, and peptide microarrays are easier to store than protein microarrays. In addition, compared with larger proteins, peptides have a high degree of specificity, usually a single epitope. Compared with protein microarrays, peptide microarrays are more suitable for the following applications. Peptides can recognize specific sites of protein-protein interactions and can recognize discrete protein structures of drug targets (such as enzyme binding sites). In addition, peptides can also be used to generate highly specific antibodies against discrete epitopes, which can distinguish similar or isotype proteins.
Applications of Peptide Microarrays
Peptide microarrays have been widely used in biomarker discovery, immune monitoring, antibody epitope mapping, multiple epitope mapping, or used to detect and verify protein interactions. Applications range from the study of special epitopes in humoral responses to the characterization of cancer biomarkers and antibody characteristics to the characterization of protein-protein interactions and kinase substrates.
Fig1. Some application of peptide microarrays.
In this series, we provide 10 peptide microarray products for infectious disease research. The probe sets in these products come from a reported capsid protein and housekeeping protein with significant characteristics, which have certain specificity. At the same time, do we have a complete microarray printing platform? We can customize peptide microarray products for individual needs, and customize peptide arrays related to viruses and pathogens that are not in the catalog.
Based on the unique advantages of peptide microarrays in immune-related research, we provide 8 peptide microarray products for immune-related disease research. The probe set of this series of products comes from the reported specific peptide epitopes of some more classic targets, which have their own unique advantages in applications. At the same time, our prefabricated flats can provide semi-custom and full-custom microarray printing services. You can add some probes to the existing products, or order peptide array products that are not in our catalog.
Creative Proteomics' peptide microarray platform provides a unique analysis platform distinct from protein microarrays. If you have the above application requirements, please contact us for cooperation.
