What is Proteomics?

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures, functions, modifications, and interactions within a biological system.

What are Proteins?

Proteins are large, complex molecules that:
- Catalyze biochemical reactions (enzymes)
- Provide structural support
- Transport molecules
- Enable cellular communication
- Regulate gene expression
