  • Patent number: 6808886
    Abstract: The invention provides computer systems, computer program products and methods for in silico array-based methods for determining the relative amount of biological molecules (e.g., nucleic acid sequences) in two or more samples. The invention also provides novel arrays comprising immobilized calibration molecules (e.g., nucleic acids) for normalizing the results of array-based binding assays (e.g., hybridization reactions).

  • Patent number: 6762056
    Abstract: A method for discovering proteins and protein geometries, and a method for conducting whole proteome assays on a single test surface are disclosed. A test surface is provided featuring a surface containing a random distribution of randomly shaped features of a size from 10−10 meters to 10−8 meters in width, height, depth, and spacing. A sample containing proteins is provided to interact with the test surface long enough for protein molecules to locate and adsorb to complementary sites on the test surface. Unadsorbed proteins are washed away. Protein adsorption sites are then discovered using a means such as an atomic force microscope (AFM) to identify locations where proteins are adsorbed to the surface. The topology of the protein adsorption sites is precisely measured using an AFM. Protein surface topology is deduced by determining the complementary surface to the protein adsorption sites.
