Aims & Scope
Research in the emerging field of proteomics is growing at
an extremely rapid rate. The principal aim of
Current Proteomics is to publish well-timed in-depth/mini review
articles in this fast-expanding area on topics relevant and significant to the
development of proteomics. Current Proteomics is an essential journal for
everyone involved in proteomics and related fields in both academia and
industry.
All areas of proteomics are covered
together with the methodology, software, databases, technological advances and
applications of proteomics, including functional proteomics. Diverse
technologies covered include but are not limited to:
- 2-D gel electrophoresis and image analysis
- Analysis of protein complexes
- Biomolecular interaction analysis
- Determination of co-translational and post- translational modification of proteins
- High-throughput computational methods for protein 3-D structure as well as function determination
- High-throughput protein structural studies (using mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray crystallography)
- Knowledge integration and management tools
- Protein separation and characterization techniques
- Protein/peptide microarrays
- Protein-protein interaction (protein interactome) pathways and cell signaling networks
- Proteome informatics (bioinformatics)
- Robotics, nanotechnology, and microfluidics
- Systems biology
- Techniques for protein expression profiling including mass spectrometry-based methods and algorithms for correlative database searching
- Yeast two-hybrid projects
In addition to in-depth/mini reviews, articles
highlighting recent proteomics papers of special interest as well as book
reviews are published. In view of the importance of specific technology and software
developed for advancement of proteomics research, a separate section is devoted
to product and technology reports. Proceedings of proteomics meetings with
selected review articles on topics presented are also published.
