Proteomics

This research service analyzes the market for proteomics sample preparation solutions within the United States. The United States market was divided into the commodity chemistries and devices, targeted sample extraction or fractionation kits, kits for the affinity capture of high abundant proteins, and pre-spectrometry sample digest and cleanup so...

Biological researchers are now facing the tasks of assigning molecular and cellular function to the high number of predicted genes from the still ongoing genome projects. Gene encode proteins and the further understanding of proteins and their function is a major objective.An important step in the overall understanding of function includes the dete...

Proteomics has been a rapidly emerging field recently, especially in the last five to ten years with the availability of soft ionization techniques and the widespread availability of sequence databases. The methods used, such as 2-D gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, are not particularly new, and the field of protein chemistry is not eithe...

Proteomics, the study of proteins, involves isolation, identification, expression, and characterization of the structure and function of proteins. Proteomics offers opportunities to improve the drug development process in various ways. One method is by identifying additional proteins to act as potential drug targets, which could lead to viable ne...

While protein chemistry is far from a novel discipline, new challenges have arisen with the advent of industrial scale analyses. Compared to genomics applications, which have been readily scalable, protein analysis presents additional challenges on many fronts. In contrast to the static nature of the human genome which is made up of four nucleoti...

A significant need for increased efficiency in drug discovery has driven a tremendous level of research to expand the knowledge base concerning the underlying mechanism of disease. With the sequence of the human genome largely completed and subsequent analysis revealing a reduced estimate of the number of genes present, there has been a shift to t...
