Abstract:
Proteomics is a rapidly developing discipline that seeks to understand the role of proteins in the wider biological context. In order to take a holistic view of a biological system, it is vital that we can elucidate the dynamics of the proteome. In this article, we have outlined the recent advances in experimental strategies for measuring protein synthesis and degradation on a proteome-wide scale. The application of mass spectrometry and non-mass spectrometric-based approaches in this field of research has been discussed. The article also explores the challenges associated with these types of analyses and the development of appropriate bioinformatic resources for interrogating the complex datasets that are generated.
