The term 'proteome' was first coined in 1994, and refers to all the proteins in a cell, tissue, or organism. Proteomics refers to the study of the proteome. Because proteins are involved in almost all biological activities, the proteome is a rich source of biological information.

Researchers identify protein that makes cancer cells more aggressive

When Goping’s research team found that a protein was linked to poor outcomes in breast cancer patients, she wanted to find out the reason behind this.

10 Sep 2020

New study can help reduce the failure rate of drug development for various diseases

A novel genetic analysis of blood protein concentrations has shown how genetic information can be applied to support the prioritization of drug targets.

Zika virus infection during pregnancy can cause severe abnormalities in the fetus

Zika virus infection during pregnancy can cause severe abnormalities in the fetus, including malformations such as microcephaly. In a small proportion of cases, the disease may lead to miscarriage and perinatal death.

4 Sep 2020

Researchers identify brain protein that leads to seizures, abnormal social behaviors

Scientists have identified a novel mechanism that is responsible for causing the abnormal development of neuronal connections in the mice brain.

Researchers identify protein that causes adverse side effects in gastric cancer patients

Gastric cancer is one of the major causes of cancer-related mortality around the world. It is known for its potential to spread across the peritoneal cavity.

1 Sep 2020

Protein structural study may lead to more improved research on disease development

Researchers had identified an actin cytoskeketal nucleator, called Arp2/3 complex, more than 20 years ago.

26 Aug 2020

Chemical crosslinking data helps study protein dynamics

The mechanism for protein function can be unraveled by defining protein dynamics.
