   “Two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis allows the separation of thousands of proteins, and provides the means for separating the proteome (the PROTEin complement expressed by a genOME) of a simple species, or the protein component of a complex tissue.”

   “So now the quest is to crack the human proteome – a concept so novel that the term proteome didn't even exist a decade ago.”
