초록

In the post-genomic era, purification and structure identification of proteins that are related to cell functions and diseases became the most important research topics. Although 2D-gel electrophoresis is currently the most widely accepted technique for the separation of complex protein mixtures, it still possesses some drawbacks to overcome. Being very labor intensive, it is time consuming, difficult to obtain reproducible results, and has low detection limit. Recently, various methods that utilize micro/nano systems to separate and analyze biomolecules including proteins appeared to overcome these drawbacks. In this report, we overviewed recent research trends of micro/nano bio field, by reviewing recent papers for the last 2∼3 years, and emphasized the importance of the development of bead based micro analysis system, nanotechnology for biosensing, and protein micro array system.
