What Are the Challenges in Proteomics for Infectious Diseases?
Despite its potential, proteomics faces several challenges:
1. Complexity and Diversity: The vast and dynamic nature of the proteome makes it challenging to analyze comprehensively. 2. Sensitivity and Specificity: Detecting low-abundance proteins amidst a high-abundance background requires highly sensitive techniques. 3. Data Analysis: The interpretation of proteomics data requires sophisticated bioinformatics tools and expertise.
