Abstract: Silanation compositions containing a mixture of two or more silanation reagents, where at least one silanation reagent includes a functional group capable of supporting polymer synthesis and at least one silanation reagent includes no functional group capable of supporting polymer synthesis are useful in modulating the active site density and hydrolytic stability of a surface. These compositions are particularly useful in silanating a surface prior to preparation of a polymer array and provide for increased hybridization results.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are arrays of nucleic acid-protein fusions which are immobilized to a solid surface through capture probes which include a non-nucleosidic spacer group and an oligonucleotide sequence to which the fusion (such as an RNA-protein fusion) is bound. Also disclosed herein are solid supports on which these arrays are immobilized as well as methods for their preparation and use (for example, for screening for protein-compound interactions such as protein-therapeutic compound interactions).
