A review on subcellular or organellar proteomics with special reference to apicomplexan parasites

Abstract

Despite several well-known limitations, mass spectrometry-based proteomics is still performing important role for post-genomic investigations. As large-scale proteomic investigation of whole organism or cell has been found more complex with available analytical tools, subcellular fractionation prior to mass spectrometry is becoming more useful approach now-a-days. In this review, an attempt has been made to summarize all such subcellular or organellar proteomic investigations performed to date with its implications for apicomplexan parasites.

Key words: Subcellular proteomics, parasite, mass spectrometry, fractionation
