Proteomics in toxicology typically involves several key steps:
Sample Preparation: Biological samples, such as blood or tissue, are collected and prepared for analysis. Protein Separation: Techniques like gel electrophoresis or liquid chromatography are used to separate proteins. Mass Spectrometry: This technique identifies and quantifies proteins by measuring the mass-to-charge ratio of protein fragments. Data Analysis: Bioinformatics tools are used to analyze the data and identify significant changes in protein expression.
