Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have been established an electrochemical patterning method which is possible to control an immobilization of DNA or protein molecule by an electrochemical reaction on a microelectrode mounted on a circuit board.　Patterning of protein on 4mm area has been achieved where 25 pair of microelectrodes of 200 micrometer was integrated. We also found that traditional cell-free protein synthesis method in a test tube using a template DNA could be progressed on a microelectrode mounted on a circuit board and an expression of a protein could be detected as a changes in a voltage.
