The structural features of nucleic acid probes tethered to a solid support
and the molecular basis of their interaction with targets in solution have
direct implications for the hybridization process. We discuss how arrays of
oligonucleotides provide powerful tools to study the molecular basis of these
interactions on a scale which is impossible using conventional analysis.
