proteomics
Meaning: The large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures, functions, and interactions within biological systems.
Proteomics complements genomics by examining the proteins that genes encode. Since proteins carry out most cellular functions, understanding the proteome (the entire set of proteins in a cell or organism) is essential for understanding disease, developing drugs, and advancing personalised medicine. Key techniques include mass spectrometry and protein microarrays.
Examples
- Proteomics research has identified several new biomarkers for early-stage pancreatic cancer. 蛋白质组学研究已确定了几种早期胰腺癌的新型生物标志物。La investigación proteómica ha identificado varios biomarcadores nuevos para el cáncer de páncreas en fase temprana.プロテオミクス研究により、早期膵臓がんの新たなバイオマーカーがいくつか特定された。프로테오믹스 연구를 통해 초기 췌장암의 새로운 바이오마커가 여러 개 확인되었다.
- The laboratory specialises in proteomics, analysing how proteins interact within diseased cells. 该实验室专门从事蛋白质组学研究,分析蛋白质在病变细胞内如何相互作用。El laboratorio está especializado en proteómica y analiza cómo interactúan las proteínas en las células enfermas.その研究室はプロテオミクスを専門とし、病変細胞内でのタンパク質の相互作用を分析している。해당 연구실은 프로테오믹스를 전문으로 하며, 질병 세포 내에서 단백질이 어떻게 상호작용하는지를 분석한다.
- Advances in proteomics are helping scientists understand why some people respond differently to the same medication. 蛋白质组学的进步正在帮助科学家理解为什么有些人对同种药物的反应不同。Los avances en proteómica están ayudando a los científicos a comprender por qué algunas personas responden de manera diferente al mismo medicamento.プロテオミクスの進歩により、同じ薬に対する個人差がなぜ生じるのか、科学者の理解が深まっている。프로테오믹스의 발전 덕분에 같은 약물에 대해 사람마다 반응이 다른 이유에 대한 과학자들의 이해가 깊어지고 있다.
