Proteome

The term proteome was coined by Marc Wilkins first in 1994 in the symposium: "2D Electrophoresis: from protein maps to genomes" in Siena, Italy, and was subsequently published in 1995 (1), which was part of his PhD thesis. The term proteome is a blend of proteins expressed by a genome, cell, tissue or organism. Subsequently this term has been specified to contain all the expressed proteins at a given time point under defined conditions.
