organelle proteomics

Monday 5 July 2004

The mass-spectrometry-based identification of proteins has created opportunities for the study of organelles, transport intermediates and large subcellular structures.

Traditional cell-biology techniques are used to enrich these structures for proteomics analyses, and such analyses provide insights into the biology and functions of these structures.
