Protein-protein interactions mediate most processes in the living cell. Impaired protein interactions can lead to disease, which is why protein interactions are valuable targets for drugs. Therefore, it is extremely important to understand these interactions at the molecular level. Protein interactions are studied using a variety of techniques. Peptides are used for investigation and are powerful tools for protein interaction.

Developed in the 1990s, synthetic peptide arrays are an exciting and rapidly growing technology with a wide range of possibilities for applications in basic and applied life sciences.

Peptide libraries are versatile and have proven important for determining the substrate specificities of enzymes, profiling antibodies, mapping epitopes, studying ligand-receptor interactions, and identifying ligands that mediate cell adhesion. The arrays typically contain hundreds to thousands of different peptide sequences. The technique has become a powerful tool for high-throughput approaches in biology and biochemistry.

Nevertheless, peptide arrays are not yet a standard method in the laboratory and drug development process, especially compared to the oligonucleotide arrays, and the potential of peptide libraries is not yet fully recognized and exploited.
Product specialist Dr Christian Behn explains the flexible options for multiple peptide synthesis live in the one-hour online seminar.

The seminar will be offered at 10 a.m. in German and at 2 p.m. in English.
