Fig. 1From: Computational analysis of protein synthesis, diffusion, and binding in compartmental biochipsSchematic representation of a compartmentalized biochip. A DNA brush is attached to the chip surface. The encoded sequences are transcribed by RNA polymerases (light gray) and translated by ribosomes (dark gray). The synthesized proteins (brown) spread by diffusion and bind to a second type of proteins (light brown) tethered to the chip surface by antibodiesBack to article page
