    We describe a method of performing multiple enzyme assays in a single reaction vessel. The resolving power of capillary electrophoresis enables several enzyme assays to be analyzed at high speed in microfluidic arrays. Multiplexed measurement can increase throughput significantly without requiring highly dense microfluidic arrays. Enzyme assays in a multiplexed format for selected kinases in this work show essentially identical performance to assays performed individually. This establishes an approach for screening one compound against multiple enzyme targets simultaneously. Another potential application for performing multiplexed enzyme assay is to study protein-protein (especially enzyme-enzyme) interaction by monitoring the enzymatic activity changes.
