About Proteomics
Proteomics encompasses detailed analysis of complex protein samples. Proteins, as the active components in the cell, form the basis of processes like growth, production and metabolic conversions. New analytical technologies enable accurate quantification and identification of thousands of peptides and proteins in a short time frame. This provides us with new applications and solutions to questions, such as:
Characterization of fysiological differences at the protein level (biomarker discovery)
- Which proteins characterize the maturity stage of a fruit?
- Which proteins characterize germination stages of a seed?
Characterization of differences in raw materials
- What is the variation in protein composition between various batches of milk?
- Is it possible to predict the shelflife of a product from its protein composition?
Characterization of differences in production processes
- Which proteins are produced by a yeast strain at different growth temperatures?
- What is the effect of a new purification method on the end product
Characterization of modifications and artefacts in protein products
- Which glycan chains are attached to a protein and at what position?
- Does oxidation occur during storage?
Characterization of protein and peptide compositions during processing
- What high-value proteins are contained in a rest stream or rest product?
