Proteomics

Proteomics
The study of the proteome, all of the proteins produced by a given species. (The proteome is to protein as the genome is to DNA.) The term "proteome" was first coined from the PROTEin complement of the genOME in the mid-1990s by Marc Wilkins, a graduate student at Macquarie University in Australia. Wilkins defines proteomics as "the study of proteins, how they're modified, when and where they're expressed, how they're involved in metabolic pathways and how they interact with one another."
