Advances in Proteomic Research

Dear Colleagues,

Proteins are the main agents of biological change. Their structural diversity is sufficient to accomplish the enormous array of chemical functionality required by living cells. Unlike the genome, the proteome (the complement of proteins under a given set of biological conditions) is a dynamic quantity which varies with variables such as cell cycle stage, cell specialization, pathology and nutritional status. Thus proteomics offers a robust set of high-throughput methods to explore changes in the quantity and status of specific proteins so as to reveal changes underlying key facets of biological functioning. Importantly, this is a discovery-driven, rather than a hypothesis-driven, approach with the potential to identify new processes not suspected a priori. This Topical Collection will contain articles describing new advances in the science of proteomics.

Topics of this Topical Collection include, but are not limited to:

• Sample preparation for two dimensional electrophoresis
• Sample preparation for protein mass spectrometry
• Enrichment for sub-proteomes
• Organelle proteomics
• Clinical applications of proteomics, such as biomarker discovery
• Environmental proteomics
• Proteomics in food science
• Proteomics of non-model organisms
• Proteomics databases
• New Bioinformatics approaches for proteomics datasets
• Use of protein arrays
