What is cell surface proteomics? Proteomics, or the comprehensive evaluation of the set of proteins present in a specific biological context, is a critical field that has become increasingly central to biological and pharmaceutical research, especially as technological advances enable these large-scale studies to be performed with increasing ease. One area of particular interest is cell surface proteomics or “surfaceomics,” which seeks to characterize and evaluate the suite of proteins present on the surfaces of various cell types under given conditions. Cell surface proteins carry out a...
