Peptidomics

Peptidomics is the scientific study of peptides, which are small chains of amino acids that serve various functions in the body, such as signaling and regulation. It involves identifying and analyzing these peptides in different tissues or biological fluids to understand their roles in health and disease. Advanced techniques like mass spectrometry are used to detect and quantify peptides with high precision. Peptidomics helps researchers discover new biomarkers for illnesses, develop targeted treatments, and deepen our understanding of biological processes at the molecular level.
