Surface-mediated reactions Diels-Alder reaction

Houseman et al. prepared a peptide chip by Diels-Alder-mediated reaction of kinase-peptide substrates with a self-assembled monolayer of alkanethiolates on gold surface. Peptide phosphorylation was determined by incubating the peptide microarrays with c-src protein-tyrosine kinase followed by quantitation with a phos-phoryl imager. In the presence of soluble inhibitors at a range of concentrations, dose-dependent inhibition of phosphorylation against a number of peptide substrates could be determined on a single chip. ...
