| Abstract | The ability to identify proteins with mass spectrometry has a profound impact on biological research. Its long term effects can only be compared with the significance PCR enzyme had for the advancement of biological science.Suddenly proteins can be identified having only minute quantities available. The efforts invested in to the technology lead to a constant increase in throughput - comparable to the development of DNA sequencing technology.Biological mechanisms can be studied directly on the protein level. There are two research directions: protein expression based proteomics and cell mapping or functional proteomics.Protein expression based proteomics is focussing on the understanding of cellular states by analyzing the protein expression level of as many proteins as possible. In cell mapping experiments the protein - protein interaction network within a cell is analyzed.At the EMBL a protein complex purification technique, called tandem affinity purification (TAP), was developed which allows to rapidly purify very specifically non covalently interacting proteins which can be subsequently analyzed with mass spectrometry (cell mapping approach). The complexes assemble in vivo, are purified as such and characterized. The technique had been developed in yeast and efforts are under way to establish similar methods in higher eukaryotes. The comparison of this technique with similar experiments based on two hybrid screens demonstrate that the protein based approach is more specific and functional data suggest that it is more complete. This may be due to the fact that the complexes assemble first in their native environment and are then pulled out for characterization.The organization of all the proteins into groups of physically in teracting proteins is an important step towards understanding their functional role within a cell. To a large degree cellular processes organize themselves based on the non-covalent affinity of proteins. Protein based approaches as exemplified by the tandem affinity purification method in conjunction with mass spectrometry are very important in analyzing this functional infra structure. The identification of all the proteins involved in a particular biological mechanism and the characterization of their interaction constants may provide the physical data to simulate the process by a computer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
