Non-Human and Food Proteomics

Proteomics is the study of proteins and their functions in the cell. It aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of proteins, their structure, and how they interact with other molecules and complexes. Non-human and food proteomics are sub-categories of proteomics that focus on understanding and identifying the proteins within non-human species, such as plants and animals, and also food and food products. This rapidly growing field of science is of great importance to the food industry, as it can be used to identify novel proteins, their allergenicity, and their nutritional content. It also has important implications in understanding the physiology of non-human species, and may lead to novel treatments for diseases and disorders.
