Rapid identification of carbohydrate-binding events that leads to a better understanding of signaling processes is being achieved through the development of carbohydrate microarrays. In the example shown, array carbohydrates are first immobilized on a pretreated surface and then interrogated with fluorescently labeled carbohydrate-binding proteins; the binding event can then be observed by fluorescence spectroscopy.
