Proteomics and the Molecular Biologist

  • Chapter
Handbook of Proteomic Methods

Abstract

This review is intended to provide the basics of proteomics for all scientists, regardless of their backgrounds, who are interested in using this approach in their research. We believe that proteomics when combined with pre-existing technologies like molecular biology can be a powerful tool in solving a wide variety of biological questions. However, for most who are not in the proteomics field, it is difficult to determine which proteomics approaches are feasible and which are not realistic. In this review, we highlight practical approaches that can be used by researchers without expertise in proteomics or mass spectrometry (MS) to gain insight into their system of choice.
