Figure 2. An emerging systems biology approach attempts to gain a holistic sense of an organism, cell or biological pathway by analyzing these data sets together to form a comprehensive molecular understanding of a given biological pathway. Biotechnol. Drug Discov. Mol. Perhaps even more significant, in the large majority of cases, discovery experiments are simply not followed up and validation is not even attempted. 140, 932939 (2018). Reducing sample preparation time and the number of adherent surfaces that come into contact with it, can all contribute to more sensitive analyses. The design or use of drugs that act on multiple targets or disease pathways. Am. Depending on the intended use, the requirements for biomarker validation can vary significantly. demonstrated that this combination of analytical approaches allowed single cell-sized protein quantities to a depth of 1600 identified proteins with a median CV of 10.9% and correlation coefficient of 0.98 [Citation9]. 12, 25152521 (2017). Here, proteins are digested into peptides with trypsin and subsequently digested with an enzyme that cleaves after specific amino acids (e.g., GluC which cleaves on the C-terminal side of glutamate). In order to increase specificity and allow prioritization of hits by likelihood of functional relevance, the experiments are typically performed in a competitive mode using preincubation of lysate with free parent compound in dose response or using analogs covering a range of cellular activity. It should be noted that for the notoriously challenging task of efficacy target identification in phenotypic drug discovery, chemoproteomics is often and most successfully used as part of a multipronged strategy that also includes functional genetic, cellular profiling and computational approaches to generate as much complementary information as possible to hone in on the efficacy target amongst the hit lists of physical and functional interactors [Citation7274].

Unlike genomic sequencing or transcriptome expression data, proteomic data have lacked a well-defined central public repository that could be easily queried. In vivo brain GPCR signaling elucidated by phosphoproteomics. EASI-tag enables accurate multiplexed and interference-free MS2-based proteome quantification. Proteomics plays an important role in the discovery, validation and implementation of these biomarkers, which require distinct, fit-for-purpose approaches. While powerful techniques, these technologies require validated tool molecules that are selective for the protein of interest and have the potential to produce a false negative signal if the binding epitope on the target protein is not accessible due to post-translational modification. 10, 507519 (2011).
