摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to an aligned peptide array comprising, as separate elements, a plurality of peptide segments obtained by dividing the amino acid sequence of a protein into sequence segments of any suitable length and any suitable overlapping frame and synthesizing peptides on the basis of said sequence segments, the amino acid sequences of said peptide segments expressing the amino acid sequence of said protein. According to the present invention, the binding or interaction site of a protein with a ligand therefor can be detected rationally, rapidly, analytically, systematically, and conveniently. It is very obvious that the concept used for the present invention can he applied to make arrays for any molecules for detection of any binding or interacting molecules.</p> |
