NCIt definition : The global analysis of cellular proteins. Proteomics uses a combination of sophisticated
techniques including two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis, image analysis, mass
spectrometry, amino acid sequencing, and bio-informatics to resolve comprehensively,
to quantify, and to characterize proteins. The application of proteomics provides
major opportunities to elucidate disease mechanisms and to identify new diagnostic
markers and therapeutic targets.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: The study of the structure and function of proteins, including the way
they work and interact with each other inside cells.;
