2Genomics versus Proteomics
- Post Genomic era- Reading of the human genome
sequence
- Relatively few medical breakthroughs derived
from genetic research - - Can cellular processes be understood by
screening genomes? - - The organisation and timing of cellular events
is not a projection - of the genome and its transcription.
- Proteomics - relies on genomics to facilitate
protein identification - - which genes are important and under
which circumstances
- combination of proteomic and genomic information
will - likely lead to the understanding of fundamental
processes - such as cell development and growth, cell
differentiation, - Cell signaling and cell death.

72-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
Iso- Electric Focusing
- In the 1st dimension, proteins are separated
according to their charge.
- Electrophoretic migration is dependent upon
- pH charge dependence and iso-electricity.
- Since the 1990s the position of proteins within
- gels and their position within the pH gradient
- could be correlated with the amino acid
- composition of polypeptides.
P.A.G.E.
- In the 2nd dimension proteins are separated
according to their relative - mass.
- Thousands of proteins can be displayed in a
single experiment.
8Iso- Electric Focusing
Mol Mass
9Protein Staining Techniques
- Sensitive protein identification methods exist
which are compatible with - the resolving power of 2D-PAGE.

15Growth Changes Cellular Fractionation
- Growth of F. nucleatum by continuous culture-
maintain growth parameters while changing a - single factor of interest.
- Growth conditions examined growth rate
- growth temperature
- redox potential
- growth pH
- presence of chlorhexidine (antimicrobial)
- nutrient availability
- biofilm growth
- Sample preparation-
- a) consideration of mol. Wt. and pI.
- b) reduce the complexity of the protein mixture,
(cytoplasmic and - cell envelope).
- c) degradation of proteins by proteases
- d) removal of nucleic acids
- e) staining- determined by amount of protein
- f) protein contamination
