The application of proteomics to diabetes
Eleanor M Scott, Angela M Carter, John BC Findlay

Proteomics is the investigation of all the proteins and their various modifications making up a system, be that a cell, tissue or organism. The techniques involved in proteomics allow the global screening of complex samples of proteins and provide qualitative and quantitative evidence of altered protein expression. This lends itself to the investigation of the molecular mechanisms underpinning disease processes and the effects of treatment. This review describes the main techniques of proteomics and how they have begun to be applied to diabetes research.
