Material Detail

This is a free, online textbook offered by WikiBooks.  Therefore, it is continually being updated.  "The focus of proteomics is a biological group called the proteome. The proteome is dynamic, defined as the set of proteins expressed in a specific cell, given a particular set of conditions. Within a given human proteome, the number of proteins can be as large as 2 million. [1] Proteins themselves are macromolecules: long chains of amino acids. This amino acid chain is constructed when the cellular machinery of the ribosome translates RNA transcripts from DNA in the cell's nucleus. [2] The transfer of information within cells commonly follows this path, from DNA to RNA to protein."
