Protein Characterization

Protein characterization involves analyzing and identifying the properties, structure, and functions of proteins. This process helps scientists understand how proteins work in biological systems by determining their amino acid sequence, molecular weight, shape, and activity. Techniques such as spectroscopy, chromatography, and imaging are used to gather detailed information. Accurate protein characterization is essential for research, developing medicines, and understanding diseases, as it reveals how proteins interact within cells and contribute to overall health and function.
