The term proteomics broadly encompasses the characterization of protein expression, structure and function in a global fashion. The breadth of applications requires an equally diverse array of tools and techniques that address these applications.

Keywords: proteomics; profiling; interaction; crystallography; mass spectrometry; surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization; phosphorylation; array
