  • Publication number: 20140371091
    Abstract: Biomolecule arrays on a substrate are described which contain a plurality of biomolecules, such as coding nucleic acids and/or isolated polypeptides, at a plurality of discrete, isolated, locations. The arrays can be used, for example, in high throughput genomics and proteomics for specific uses including, but not limited molecular diagnostics for early detection, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, monitoring clinical response, and protein crystallography.

  • Publication number: 20140357527
    Abstract: The disclosure provides for methods and apparatuses relating to technology for monitoring chemical and/or biological reactions. Some methods provided herein relate to utilization of NAPPA technology to create large protein arrays suitable for use in combination with various ISFET arrays to enable massive parallel assays of kinase activity and inhibition. Some devices provided herein relate to CMOS chips which utilize the NAPPA array technology to build protein inventories of interest upon an ISFET architecture. Further devices provided herein are capable, inter alia, of processing the arrays created by the combination of NAPPA technology and ISFET architecture.

  • Publication number: 20140162902
    Abstract: Cell lines harboring a range of polymorphisms using recombinant cytochrome P450 or other chemical-metabolizing enzymes in a parent cell line that is minimally expressing or devoid of its own cytochrome P450 protein or other chemical-metabolizing enzymes of interest can be placed into an array format to enable high throughput screening of one or more chemicals for CYP450 or other enzyme-dependent metabolism (FIG. 9). Processing of the cells can be automated, done en-masse through use of an array having a substrate upon which a plurality of cell lines with exogenous chemical-metabolizing enzymes are coupled, and both relative and quantitative metabolism rates determined using mass spectrometry over time. Thus, methods are disclosed to measure, for example, the effects of cytochrome P450 polymorphisms on clinical drug metabolism in a high throughput manner for drug development and genetically personalized diagnostics and treatment regimens.

  • Publication number: 20140141991
    Abstract: A method and related microfluidic chip and kit for high throughput detection of proteins of interest contained in a sample is disclosed. The method comprises of specifically labeling fusion proteins in a complex sample with fusion tag specific fluorophores that specifically bind the fusion tags coupled to the proteins of interest, and subjecting the sample to automated capillary electrophoresis, wherein the presence of the proteins of interest in the sample is detected by fluorescence signals associated with the fusion tag specific fluorophores.

  • Publication number: 20120264651
    Abstract: The disclosure features methods that include: providing a substrate that includes (i) a nucleic acid (e.g., DNA or RNA) encoding a hybrid amino acid sequence including a test amino acid sequence and an affinity tag, and (ii) a binding agent that recognizes the affinity tag; contacting the substrate with a translation effector to thereby translate the hybrid amino acid sequence; maintaining the substrate under conditions permissive for the hybrid amino acid sequence to bind the binding agent; and removing the nucleic acid from the substrate. In one embodiment, the substrate includes a plurality of positionally-distinguishable addresses, for example, each includes a different nucleic acid. The addresses can be located a regularly or irregularly spaced locations.

  • Publication number: 20050260653
    Abstract: Arrays of polypeptides can be generated by translation of nucleic acid sequences encoding the polypeptides at individual addresses on the array. This allows for the rapid and versatile development of a polypeptide microarray platform for analyzing and manipulating biological information. In one embodiment, one or more nucleic acids that include a coding region and an anchoring agent are to stably attached to the substrate. The substrate can also be modified to include a binding agent.
