Proteomic technologies in modern biomedical science.
This review highlights modern technologies employed in proteomics. Methods of sample preparations are discussed with special emphasis on the requirements for preparation of biological material, which may seriously influence the results of proteomic studies. Methods of solubilization, electrophoresis, chromatographic protein separation, and visualization of protein spots in gels are described. Modern methods of mass spectrometry used in proteomic studies include combination of protein chips with mass spectrometry. The review also describes approaches of functional proteomics, i.e., interactomics, and also bioinformatic resources used in proteomics for image analysis of 2D-gel-electrophoresis and for identification of protein sequences by mass spectra.
