The study of proteins

Real World Example

Imagine trying to assemble a jigsaw puzzle with thousands of tiny pieces scattered all over your living room. Just as each piece of the puzzle has a unique shape and must fit perfectly into others to reveal the complete picture, proteins in our bodies have specific structures and functions that must work together precisely to sustain life. Proteomics, the study of proteins, is like gathering and understanding each piece of this biological puzzle, determining how they fit and function together to maintain the intricate image of life, much like solving the jigsaw puzzle to see the final picture.
