Iyini i-proteomics?
I - proteomics iyisifundo esikhulu samaprotheni. Amaphrotheni ayizingxenye ezibalulekile zezinto eziphilayo, anezici eziningi ezinjengokwakheka kwemicu yokwakheka kwezicubu zemisipha, ukugaya ukudla nge-enzyme, noma ukuhlanganiswa nokwenziwa kabusha kwe-DNA. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ezinye izinhlobo zamaprotheni zihlanganisa amasosha omzimba avikela umzimba ekungenweni izifo, nama - hormone athumela imiyalezo ebalulekile emzimbeni wonke.  I-proteome iqoqo eliphelele lamaprotheni akhiqizwa noma aguqulwa isidalwa noma isimiso. I - proteomics yenza kube nokwenzeka ukukhomba inani elandayo lamaprotheni. Lokhu kuyehluka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi nangezidingo ezihlukile, noma ukucindezeleka, okubhekene nengqamuzana noma isidalwa esiphilayo.  I-Proteomics yindawo ehlanganisa imikhakha eyahlukene eye yazuza kakhulu olwazini lwezakhi zofuzo kumaphrojekthi ahlukahlukene e-genome, kuhlanganise ne-Human Genome Project. Ihlanganisa ukuhlolwa kwama-proteome kusuka ezingeni eliphelele lokwakheka kwamaprotheni, ukwakheka, nomsebenzi, futhi kuyingxenye ebalulekile ye-genomics esebenzayo.  Ngokuvamile i-proteomics ibhekisela ekuhlaziyweni kwama-protein nama-proteome ngezinga elikhulu, kodwa ngokuvamile ibhekisela ekuhlanzweni kwamaprotheni kanye ne-mass spectrometry. Ngempela, i - mass spectrometry iyindlela enamandla kakhulu yokuhlaziya ama - proteome, kokubili kumasampula amakhulu akhiwe yizigidi zamangqamuzana nasengqamuzaneni elilodwa.
