Abstract:

Proteomics is a new field that focuses on the properties and activities of individual proteins. Researchers are exploring ways of combining proteomics with genetics to learn how cells function, change, and interact. Proteomics is also being used in cystic fibrosis and cancer research, and in the discovery of novel drug targets.
