Features: With the completion of large-scale sequencing of the human genome, the post-genomic era, primarily focused on functional genomics and proteomics, has arrived. As an efficient tool for detecting the presence and dynamic changes of proteins, protein chips will bring a revolution to fields such as disease diagnosis and treatment, drug development, molecular biology, aerospace, forensic identification, food hygiene, and environmental monitoring in this century. Biochip technology is a high-throughput detection technique that includes three major areas: gene chips, protein chips, and chip-based experiments. Protein chips replace DNA as the target for detection, making them closer to the material level of life activities. They directly measure the relative levels of proteins and their interactions with other molecules, quantitatively reflecting gene activity. Therefore, protein chips have more direct application prospects than gene chips. This book provides a comprehensive and detailed exposition of protein chip technology, covering technical principles, production methods, surface chemistry, detection strategies, and antigen and antibody data analysis. The book is richly illustrated with numerous biological application examples and experimental protocols. It is both informative and practical, combining fundamental knowledge and cutting-edge research in protein chip technology. The book is highly useful and readable, making it an excellent reference for teaching and research personnel engaged in biochip research and development, as well as professionals in related fields such as bioinformatics, proteomics, genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and biotechnology. It can also serve as a graduate-level textbook.
