title = "Creation of protein nanoarrays using Dip-Pen Nanolithography",
abstract = "Protein microarrays are one of the leading tools for analysing the proteome due to a range of factors including; their relatively simplistic creation and use in an assay, low cost and long shelf life. One of the primary limiting factors in conventional microarray assay systems is that they create a spot of protein ~100-300 μm in diameter. The miniaturisation of these spots will allow for the creation of much denser arrays and hence will increase the number of simultaneous protein detections possible whilst decreasing the overall physical size of the array. One of the methods for creating protein nanoarrays currently showing promise is Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN), a scanning probe microscopy technique. This paper outlines the creation of two types of ultra small functional protein microarrays using DPN on a nitrocellulose surface and their use to detect proteinrprotein interaction.",
