Pitfalls of Protein Identification

Proteomics is the analysis of a species' protein complement that is expressed by its genome, but the sheer complexity of the proteome raises significant issues for a researcher.  There are an estimated 20,000-25,000 human protein-coding genes that could code for >1,000,000 proteins, especially when protein modifications are considered. These include N- and C-truncations, alternative spliced forms and the large number of Co- and Post-translational modifications, including:
