2 Background Microarrays are high-throughput tools for drug discovery, therapeutics and diagnostics After the success of DNA arrays, much effort is made to develop other array types Proteins are more sensitive to external perturbations, especially membrane proteins Target (sample) Fluorophore Capture biomolecule 1

3 Motivation: membrane protein arrays High throughput screening techniques for the characterization of membrane proteins are needed Membrane proteins such as e.g. GPCRs are the target of 40% of the prescription drugs There are over 700 different GPCRs but not all the endogenous ligands have been identified yet (there are still 120 orphan GPCRs) 2

4 Goal: a functional membrane protein array library.thinkquest.org Immobilize membrane proteins in their natural lipidic environment to preserve the functionality 3

5 Goal: a functional membrane protein array library.thinkquest.org Immobilize membrane proteins in their natural lipidic environment to preserve the functionality Arrays of synthetic phospholipid vesicles Arrays of whole cell membrane extracts 3

6 Goal: from DNA array to heterogeneous vesicle array Vesicle tagged with ssdna ssdna X DNA microarray vesicle microarray Single-stranded DNAs (ssdna) are the linkers for vesicle binding A universal DNA array is converted into a heterogeneous functional vesicle array by surface sorting 4

7 Goal: from DNA array to heterogeneous vesicle array Vesicle tagged with ssdna ssdna X DNA microarray vesicle microarray Oligonucleotides provide a strong linker with multiplexing possiblities Gentle protein immobilization, no drying steps No need to optimize the spotting conditions for each type of array 4

8 Goal: from DNA array to heterogeneous vesicle array Vesicle tagged with ssdna ssdna Stable linker Inert Background DNA microarray A stable linker between the vesicle and the DNA tag is required for surface sorting An inert background is required to avoid high background noise and false positive response 4
