8th International Conference on Proteomics and
Bioinformatics
May 22-24, 2017 Osaka, Japan
Proteins are a primary constituent of living things and one
of the chief classes of molecules studied in biochemistry.
Proteins provide most of the molecular machinery of cells. Many are enzymes or
subunits of enzymes. Other proteins play structural or mechanical roles, such
as those that form the struts and joints of the cytoskeleton. Each protein is
linear polymers
built of amino acids. Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Twenty different
types of amino
acids occur naturally in proteins. Proteins differ
from each other in their size, molecular structure and physiochemical
properties. These differences allow for protein analysis and characterization
by separation and identification. Protein profiling is an emerging independent
subspecialty of proteomics
that is rapidly expanding and providing unprecedented insight into biological
events. A combination of high-resolution two-dimensional (2-D) polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis, highly sensitive biological mass spectrometry, and the rapidly
growing protein and DNA databases has paved the way for high-throughput
proteomics.
