Proteomics is the critical link between genomics and metabolomics, translating information encoded in nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA into the metabolic processes of living organisms. The large-scale study of the entire complement of proteins and peptides expressed in a cell, tissue or organism is vital for the application of data-driven biology and development of personalized medicines. Elucidating mechanisms of health and disease through proteomics requires fast and reliable analytical methods. However, proteomes are inherently complex and as such, pose huge analytical challenges. A new liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method is anticipated to be published that enables the ultrafast analysis of proteomic profiles. The research to develop this technique and high-throughput workflow has been pioneered by Professor Markus Ralser at the Charité university hospital in Berlin, Germany and the Francis Crick Institute in London, in collaboration with a team at SCIEX, Toronto, Canada.
