| Abstract: | Healthcare can be maintained well, when diagnosis is quick, accurate, cost-effective and painless. DNA and RNA based diagnosis
may not reveal the right information for certain diseases. Identification and quantification of proteins and their folding
mechanism are very important in diagnosis of diseases. Small quantities of proteins, which generally escape from detection
and are responsible for the diseases, now can be quantified by protein nanotechniques which aids in the diagnosis. In this
review, we have summarized the recent developments in nanotechnologies such as protein microarrays, biosensors etc. and their
application in diagnosis of diseases at proteomics level have also been discussed. |
