7.01.99    Scientific American Parsing Cells: Proteomics is an attempt to devise industrial-scale techniques to map the identity and activities of all the proteins in a cell by Gary Stix
A new biological subdiscipline called proteomics tries to circumvent the information gap between DNA and its end products. Proteomics envisions deducing the structure and interactions of all the proteins in a given cell. Comparing proteomic maps of healthy and diseased cells may allow researchers to understand changes in cell signaling and metabolic pathways better. And pharmaceutical companies might devise diagnostic tests and identify new drug targets.
