5. Introduction
Proteome:
The word “proteome” represents the complete protein pool of an organism
encoded by the genome. (Dr. Vikash Kumar Dubey)
Proteomics:
Proteomics, is defined as the study of complete set of proteins present in a
cell, organ, or organism at a given time. (Wilkins MR et al., 1995)

6. proteomics approaches can be used for
a) For proteome profiling
b) For expression analysis of two or more protein samples
c) For identification of posttranslational modifications
d) For the study of protein–protein interactions
(Baltimore D 2001)
proteomics is an emerging area of research of the
post-genomic era (Moult J et al., 2000)
9. History
Berzelius in 1838 given the title “protein”, which is originated from the Greek word,
proteios, meaning “the first rank”. (cristea et al., 2004)
In 1993, Henzel et al. reported the first work related to the identification of protein
from the 2DE.
The term “proteomics” was first used by Marc Wilkins in 1996 to denote the
“PROTein complement of a genOME”. (Wilkins MR et al., 1996)
SDS-PAGE discovered by Laemmli in 1970.
Fenn (1988) developed ESI-MS.
Hillenkamp (1988) developed MALDI-MS.
JJ Thomson (1913) identified M/Z ratio.
10. Steps in Proteomic
Analysis
1. Purification of proteins
2. Separation of proteins
3. Identification of proteins
(Dr. Vikash Kumar Dubey)
12. Enzyme-linked
immunosorbent
assay
• The ELISA is highly
sensitive immunoassay
and widely used for
diagnostic purpose.
• Wheat proteins causes
allergic reactions in
susceptible individuals
that have been traced in
foods to protect wheat-
sensitive individuals
using commercially
available ELISA kits.
(Lequin 2005 ; Sharma 2012)
13. Western
blotting
• Western blotting is an
important and powerful
technique for detection of
low abundance proteins that
involve the separation of
proteins using
electrophoresis, transfer
onto nitrocellulose
membrane and the precise
detection of a target protein
by enzyme-conjugated
antibodies.
(kurien et al., 2006)
14. Edman
sequencing
• Edman sequencing was
developed by Pehr
Edman in 1950 to
determine the amino-
acid sequence in
peptides or proteins.
(Smith 2001)
25. Advantages of proteomics
1. Helps in determining the proper treatment of diseases.
2. Modifications of the proteins that are not apparent from the DNA
sequence, such as isoforms and post-translational modifications,
cn be determined only by proteomic methodologies.
3. Mechanisms such as regulation of protein function by proteolysis,
recycling and sequestration in cell compartments affect gene
products and not genes.
4. Protein-protein interactions and the molecular composition of
cellular structures such as organelles can be determined only at the
protein level.
26. Disadvantages of proteomics
1. Requires more handling, refinement and sample manipulation.
2. Requires more expensive and complicated equipment.
3. Data analysis can be complex since so much data is collected for a
single sample.
4. There is some loss of sensitivity when data are collected in an
untargeted mannar.
27. Applications of proteomics
1. Oncology
Proteomics is a systematic research, the main aim of this research is to
characterize the protein expressions, functions of tumor cells and widely used in
biomarker discovery.
2. Bio-medical applications
The study of interactions between microbial pathogens and their hosts is
called “infectomics”. It is very interesting area in proteomics. The main aim of
this research is to prevent or cure disease at starting level.
(Chiang 2008)
28. Applications of proteomics
3. Agricultural applications
Proteomics is also used to know plant-insect interactions that help identify
candidate genes involved in the defensive response of plants to herbivore.
4. Food Microbiology
The use of proteomics in food technology is presented especially for
characterisation and standardisation of raw materials, process development, and
detection of batch-to batch variations and quality control of the final product.
