Introduction to Proteomic Analysis
The synthesis of complex biological functions using basic molecular parts is one of the main objectives of synthetic biology. This bottom-up approach has been used to purposefully manipulate cellular systems for specific applications. Synthetic biology ostensibly focuses on the manipulation of gene regulatory networks; however, a series of recent studies have pointed that proteins are an optimal substrate for the engineering of biological systems and the most versatile among the various biological building blocks. Nevertheless, the versatility, dynamics and interactions, and other complex characteristics of proteins, also hinder systems engineering. This remains to be tamed by a robust engineering framework.
Synthetic biologists have begun tinkering with the information flow through integrated protein switches. Proteomic analysis, which identifies and quantifies the complete proteins of a biological system at a specific time point, can help synthetic biologists obtain well-characterized biological parts to facilitate system design. Frameworks based on natural modularity and specific interactions may allow the assembly of synthetic networks from reusable protein (and non-protein) devices. Protein interaction devices that integrate synthetic RNA and gene networks with non-natural chemistry and metabolic engineering will take center stage in future systems.
