Definition
Involves the sequencing of amino acids in a protein, determining its three dimensional structure and relating it to the function of the protein.
Proteomics
Extensive data, generated through crystallography and NMR, are required for proteomic studies. With such data on known proteins, thestructureand itsrelationship to function of newly discovered proteins can beunderstood in a very short time. In such areas,bioinformaticshas an enormousanalytical and predictive potential .
It can help develop better understanding of how proteinsfold and interact with one another and with other biological molecules which in turn will give scientists and doctors better insight into diseases and ways to combat them.
