"Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins."
Proteomics is the study of proteins and their function. Topics include protein structure prediction, protein-protein interactions, and protein functional annotation.
"Proteins are vital parts of living organisms, with many functions such as the formation of structural fibers of muscle tissue, enzymatic digestion of food, or synthesis and replication of DNA."
"The proteome is the entire set of proteins produced or modified by an organism or system."
"Proteomics enables the identification of ever-increasing numbers of proteins."
"This varies with time and distinct requirements, or stresses, that a cell or organism undergoes."
"Proteomics is an interdisciplinary domain that has benefited greatly from the genetic information of various genome projects, including the Human Genome Project."
"It covers the exploration of proteomes from the overall level of protein composition, structure, and activity."
"Proteomics is an important component of functional genomics."
"Proteomics generally denotes the large-scale experimental analysis of proteins and proteomes."
"Proteomics...often refers specifically to protein purification and mass spectrometry."
"Indeed, mass spectrometry is the most powerful method for the analysis of proteomes."
"Mass spectrometry is the most powerful method for analysis of proteomes, both in large samples composed of millions of cells and in single cells."
