Proteogenomics: This field combines proteomics and genomics to study the proteins encoded by a microbiome. This can be used to identify new biomarkers, understand the mechanisms of disease, and develop new therapies.
Microfluidics: This technology is used to manipulate small volumes of liquids, which is essential for studying the microbiome. Microfluidic devices can be used to isolate and analyze bacteria, measure their activity, and study their interactions with other organisms.
Biomarkers: These are molecules that can be used to measure a biological process or disease state. Biomarkers can be found in blood, urine, saliva, or other tissues. They can be used to diagnose diseases, monitor disease progression, and predict treatment outcomes.
Identification of biomarkers: This involves finding molecules associated with a particular disease or condition. Methods such as mass spectrometry, microarrays, and next-generation sequencing can be used.
Validation of biomarkers: This involves confirming that a biomarker is reliable and accurate. This is done by testing the biomarker in a large group of people to see if it can accurately distinguish between those with and without the disease.
Redoxome: This is the set of all redox-active molecules in a cell. Redox events are critical in many biological processes, such as energy production, signal transduction, and cell death.
Miniaturization of analytical strategies: This involves developing techniques that can be used to study the redoxome in small samples. This is important because redoxome changes can occur in very small areas of a cell.
Glycoproteins: These are proteins that are attached to carbohydrates. Glycoproteins are involved in many important biological processes, such as cell-cell communication, immune recognition, and protein folding.
Specific sample preparation: This is essential for studying glycoproteins because they are often very complex and difficult to isolate. Sample preparation techniques must be tailored to the specific glycoprotein being studied.
Algorithm development: This is needed to analyze the data generated from glycoprotein studies. Algorithms can be used to identify and quantify glycoproteins and to study their structure and function.
Heritage science: This field uses scientific methods to study cultural heritage objects. Proteomics can be used to identify the proteins in these objects, which can help to determine their age, provenance, and authenticity.
Forensic science: This field uses scientific methods to investigate crimes. Proteomics can be used to identify the proteins in crime scene samples, such as blood, semen, and fingerprints. This can help to identify suspects and provide evidence in court.
Extracellular matrix (ECM): This is a network of proteins and other molecules that surrounds and supports cells. The ECM is critical in many biological processes, such as cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation.
Proteome of the ECM: This is the set of all proteins that are found in the ECM. The proteome of the ECM is very complex and dynamic, and it changes in response to a variety of stimuli.
Studying the proteome of the ECM: This can be done using various proteomic techniques, such as mass spectrometry, 2D gel electrophoresis, and protein microarrays. Studying the proteome of the ECM can help to understand the role of the ECM in health and disease.
