Abstract

Proteolytic activity matrix analysis (PrAMA) is a technique for simultaneously measuring multiple specific protease activities, generally requiring multiple measurements of parallel enzyme reactions combined with inhibitor analyses, and the approach is generally limited by sample quantity and the complexity of multiple reaction monitoring. To address these issues, in this study we developed a pico-injector array to generate 72 different reactions in picoliter-sized droplets by controlling the sequence of combinational injections, which allows simultaneous read-outs of a wide range of multiple enzyme reactions and measurement of inhibitor effects by using small sample volumes.
