PROTEIN AND PEPTIDE SENSORS USING ELECTRICAL DETECTION METHODS

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus and methods for the electrical detection of molecular interactions between a probe molecule and a protein o r peptide target molecule, but without requiring the use of electrochemical or other reporters to obtain measurable signals. The methods can be used for electrical detection of molecular interactions between probe molecules bound to defined regions of an array and protein or peptide target molecules which are permitted to interact with the probe molecules.
