Claim Text:
1. A method for synthesizing an oligopeptide microarray, wherein the method comprises the steps of: a) coupling to a reactive amino group attached directly or indirectly to a surface of a plastic solid support an amino acid comprising an amino group protected by a photolabile moiety selected from 2-(2-nitrophenyl)-propoxycarbonyl (NPPOC) and a derivative thereof, with the proviso that the photolabile moiety is 2-(2-nitro-4-benzoylphenyl)-2′-propyl-1′-oxycarbonyl (benzoyl-NPPOC) when the amino acid is tyrosine wherein the method includes coupling at least one tyrosine; b) optionally capping unreacted amino acids; c) optionally washing the plastic solid support; d) photoirradiating the protected amino group such that the photoirradiated amino group is reactive; and e) repeating steps a) to d) for a predetermined number of times, whereby an oligopeptide is synthesized.
