1. An analyte screening system, comprising:
- a sensor array comprising a plurality of different differentially responsive sensors, having a first signal profile produced by the plurality of different differentially responsive sensors, when contacted with a first analyte and a second different signal profile produced when contacted with a second analyte, wherein the difference between the first signal and the second signal being indicative of a difference in the property or properties of the first analyte and second analyte;
a measuring device, connected to the sensor array; and
a computer;
the measuring device detecting a signal in each of the plurality of different differentially responsive sensors and the computer assembling the signal into a sensor array signal profile;
wherein the computer is operative to compare the sensor array signal profile to at least one previously obtained signal profile indicating a standard sample having a specific activity, chemical or physical property, or function, wherein the comparison of the sensor_array signal profile to the at least one previously obtained signal profile is indicative of a specific activity, chemical or physical property, or function of the analyte.

Abstract
C-hemical sensors for detecting the activity of a molecule or analyte of interest is provided. The chemical sensors comprise and array or plurality of chemically-sensitive resistors that are capable of interacting with the molecule of interest, wherein the interaction provides a resistance fingerprint. The fingerprint can be associated with a library of similar molecules of interest to determine the molecule'"'"'s activity.
