Abstract

The reductionist approach to cell biology aims to explain the functioning of the whole cell in terms of the properties of its individual components. The central place of proteins in all aspects of cell activity justifies the theoretical and experimental attempts that have been made to relate amino acid sequence to molecular structure and function. Since many proteins are present in the cell in small amounts, the biochemist has resorted to microanalytical methods to obtain this information. Recent developments in instrumentation and computer technologies have greatly aided this process.
