ABSTRACT
After a long period of genomic research, an increased interest in proteins is a logical step in biological research. Technology development is one of the most important factors behind the rapid increase of knowledge about molecular biology, protein structure and interactions in networks and pathways. Important goals for new bioanalytical technology include setting up experiments to answer new questions and increased laboratory productivity. High throughput screening in pharmaceutical industry for receptor ligands and miniaturised technologies for analysis of DNA hybridisation are two examples of how advances in technology can increase laboratory productivity.
