Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 The lead article of issue #2, 2005 of Xin Zhong Yi (New Chinese Medicine) is titled, " The Application of Proteomics on the Modernized Study of . " Seems some in China are also well aware of the changes in Western biology and medicine that Todd has been speaking about. Here's a definition of proteomics from Wikipedia.com: " Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. This term was coined to make an analogy with genomics and is often viewed as the " next step, " but proteomics is much more complicated than genomics. Most importantly, while the genome is a rather constant entity, the proteome is constantly changing through its biochemical interactions with the genome and the environment. One organism will have radically different protein expression in different parts of its body, in different stages of its life cycle, and in different environmental conditions. " The entirety of proteins in existence in an organism throughout its life cycle or, on a smaller scale the entirety of proteins found in a particular cell type under a particular type of stimulation, are referred to as the proteome of the organism or cell type respectively. " With completion of a rough draft of the human genome, many researchers are now looking at how genes and proteins interact to form other proteins. A surprising finding of the Human Genome Project is that there are far fewer genes that code for proteins in the human genome than there are proteins in the human proteome (~22,000 genes vs ~200,000 proteins). The large increase in protein diversity is thought to be due to alternative splicing and post-translational modification of proteins. " The Chinese authors of the above-mentioned article believe that proteomics using the " high-flux paralleled-screening technique " in relationship with CM pattern discrimination can 1) deepen the study and understanding of CM patterns, 2) elucidate the composition and mechanisms of currently established herbal formulas, and 3) help promote the development of new Chinese herbal medicines.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 There are a few biotechnology companies, one with offices in San Diego, that are investigating Chinese herbal medicines by applying proteomics. Three years ago, Ken Rose, Bob Felt and myself made contact with Dave Weininger, a world-class chemist in Santa Fe, who had developed a research company called Metaphorics that examines genomics and proteomics as well. He was beginning to apply proteomics to Chinese herbal medicine, but, alas, has moved on to other projects since then. Not enough return on capital in this venture, I assume.
