Several advanced technologies enable proteomics studies. These include:
1. Mass Spectrometry (MS): A powerful analytical technique used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions, helping in the identification and quantification of proteins. 2. Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis (2-DE): A method to separate proteins based on isoelectric point and molecular weight. 3. Liquid Chromatography (LC): Often coupled with MS, LC helps in the separation of complex protein mixtures. 4. Protein Microarrays: These allow high-throughput analysis of protein interactions and functions.
