Question 2

It is thought that most human diseases leave telltale patterns among the thousands of proteins present in the blood or other bodily fluids. It was hoped that analysis of the proteins present in the blood would help in the diagnosis of human disease; however, thus far, searches for these proteins in blood or bodily fluids have been largely unsuccessful and their use in diagnostics largely unreliable. What are these telltale patterns of proteins called?

Accepted Answer

A) chaperonins 
B) biomarkers 
C) proteomes 
D) peptide mass fingerprints 
A) chaperonins
