Question

Identification of disease specific proteins can be done by using the approach of:

• A. Functional proteomics
• B. Structural proteomics
• C. Expression proteomics
• D. Proteome mining

Hint:

Expression proteomics identifies disease-specific proteins by analyzing differential protein expression in cells or tissues.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Expression proteomics involves comparing protein expression patterns between normal and diseased cells or tissues. This approach helps identify proteins that are specifically associated with a disease state.

• Expression proteomics: Used to detect changes in protein levels and identify disease-specific proteins.
• Functional proteomics: Focuses on protein functions and interactions.
• Structural proteomics: Studies the 3D structures of proteins.
• Proteome mining: Involves data mining of proteomic information but is not a direct approach for identifying disease-specific proteins.

Therefore, the correct answer is (C) Expression proteomics.
