Proteomických

Proteomických is a term related to proteomics, the large-scale study of proteins. Proteomics aims to identify and quantify all the proteins in a given sample, such as a cell, tissue, or organism, under specific conditions. This includes studying their structure, function, interactions, and modifications. Unlike genomics, which focuses on the complete set of genes, proteomics deals with the dynamic and complex world of proteins, which are the primary effectors of cellular functions.

The proteome is significantly more complex than the genome. While an organism has a relatively fixed set of genes, the proteome can change dramatically in response to environmental factors, developmental stages, or disease states. This variability arises from alternative splicing of genes, post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, and differences in protein expression levels. Understanding the proteome is crucial for deciphering biological processes, identifying disease biomarkers, and developing targeted therapeutic strategies. Techniques used in proteomics include mass spectrometry, chromatography, and various antibody-based assays. The insights gained from proteomic studies are essential for advancing our understanding of health and disease.
