Protein science infrastructure passes evaluation in China

BEIJING - A major scientific and technological infrastructure in protein science research has passed evaluation, the Science and Technology Daily reported Friday.
The infrastructure, featuring advanced technology platforms in biomass spectrometry, biological big data and supercomputing, bioimaging and magnetic resonance imaging, provides a comprehensive technical system for deep analysis of the structure and functions of proteome and protein complexes.
It also contributes to disclosing the molecular mechanisms of the physiology, pathology, pharmacology and toxicology of humans, major animals, plants and germs, according to the newspaper.
The infrastructure has built up a fast proteome identification method and mass data cloud platform, as well as analyzing the ultrastructure of more than 10 complicated protein complexes.
The infrastructure, jointly constructed by Tsinghua University, Peking University and the Institute of Biophysics, has been doing test runs for over three years. It will play an important role in maintaining national biological safety, the newspaper reported quoting sources with the infrastructure.
