Proteome Analysis: A Pathway to the Functional Analysis of Proteins.
The protein equivalent of genomes, proteomes are quantitative protein patterns of an organism, a cell, or a body fluid, and are determined by the development state and environmental parameters. Changes in protein expression and their consequences can be investigated at the molecular level and provide biologically relevant information not obtainable from experiments with mRNA.
