Proteome[Mesh]

Proteomes are the complete set of proteins produced by an organism's genome. They are essential for many biological functions and are valuable in a variety of biomedical research, including understanding animal and plant biology, disease diagnosis, and drug development. Proteome analysis is used to uncover the proteins involved in complex biological processes and to identify those proteins whose expression levels are altered in the presence of a disease, drug, or other perturbation. Proteomics thus provides insight into the molecular basis of a cell's function and into how its proteins interact with one another, both under normal and pathological conditions.
