To screen many small molecules at once, microarray technology is useful. Automated devices have made it possible for thousands of different small molecules to be printed as an array of spots on a glass slide. A single type of protein which has been tagged with a fluorescent marker can then be washed across the array. Any small molecule that binds to the protein can be detected by scanning for spots that are fluorescentComponente Curricular::Educação Superior::Ciências da Saúde
