Visualising below the tip of the proteome iceberg

蛋白质组学试图通过检查细胞和组织的蛋白质成分来了解人类生物学。不幸的是，目前可用的技术只能同时研究这些细胞和组织复杂性的大约10%。该项目将对蛋白质类的物理、化学和功能特性进行富集，并改进蛋白质可视化、鉴定和表征技术。这些方法将允许科学界进一步挖掘蛋白质组学“冰山”表面之下的东西。

Proteomics attempts to understand human biology by examining the protein components of cells and tissues. Unfortunately, currently available technology only allows approximately 10% of the complexity of these cells and tissues to be concurrently investigated. This project will the physical, chemical and functional properties of protein classes for enrichment, as well as improve technologies for protein visualization, identification and characterization. These approaches will allow the scientific community to further mine beneath the surface of the proteomics 'iceberg'.
