Recent months have seen a surge of activity in the field of protein microarrays. No wonder: Gene expression-profiling is faster and more powerful thanks to improvements in DNA microarray technology. Now researchers want to apply these benefits to boost the speed of proteomics research. But developing these tools is not easy, as protein arrays present technical challenges not faced by DNA microarray manufacturers. "You can attach any two pieces of DNA the same way and expect [them] to behave the
