Advances in Proteomic Analysis: Electrophoresis-based Approaches (Part 2)

Electrophoresis technology continues to be a vital tool for quantitative proteomic analysis. 2-D gel electrophoresis techniques allow multiple gene expression patterns to be simultaneously monitored in order to identify and characterize complex cellular interactions. This session will focus on the development of these proteomic technologies and their application to biotechnology. Of particular interest are papers describing advances in gel-free protein separations, novel protein stains, methods of analyzing membrane proteins, and mass spectroscopic methods for resolving mixtures of peptides. Papers are also sought that present research on the application of proteomics to the study of bacterial, animal, and plant cell cultures, and especially proteomic analysis of post-translational modifications.
