Proteomics focuses on the systematic identification and quantification of entire proteomes and interpretation of proteins’biological functions.During the last decade,proteomics in China has grown much faster than other research fields in life sciences.At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century,the rapid development of high-resolution and high-speed mass spectrometry makes proteomics a powerful tool to study the mechanisms underlying physiological/pathological processes in organisms.This article provides a brief overview of proteomics technology development and representative scientific progress of the Human Liver Proteome Project in China over the past three years.
