Antigen sequence- and library-based mapping of linear and discontinuous protein-protein-interaction sites by spot synthesis.

The knowledge (antigen-derived peptide scans)- and library (de novo)-based mapping of linear and discontinuous antibody epitopes as well as protein-protein contact sites in general by spot synthesis now is a well established technique. Due to its automation, this technique also promises great potential for applications in functional genomics. It should help to elucidate the complex network of interacting protein molecules involved in signal transduction events (Adam-klages et al. 1996; Hoffmüller et al. 1999). Although little chemistry is involved in the preparation of peptide scans or libraries and the synthesis procedure is relatively simple, the laboratories of immunologists or molecular biologists are often not equipped to perform spot synthesis. In this case scans or libraries can be purchased from commercial suppliers.
