Journal of Proteins and Proteomics

About Journal : The most enigmatic and dynamic macromolecule that define living systems, Proteins, occupy a central place in biology being the indomitable workhorses in cells. Understanding their structure, deciphering their function, unraveling their folding mechanism, defining their interacting partners – protein by protein or of the proteome – presents daunting challenges. Whether the objective is to image the novelty and beauty of structure-function relationship and pathways of bioactive conformation attainment for purely academic aesthetics or use them for therapeutic intervention, the challenges are manifold and deserve heightened attention. Rapid success in the areas of health and medicine, agriculture and manufacturing would depend heavily on our ability to exploit the riches of “protein mines”.  For all those who dare to accept the challenges, who delve in the intricacies of protein mystery, who take pain to tame the wild, this journal is our tribute. This “protein-centric” research tabloid, the first of its kind in India, is to honour their timeless effort, is to create a platform to share their novel findings, to erect hypothesis for future introspection, to put together available knowledge in literature in a comprehensive manner and to build momentum to that monumental aspiration of being able to know all that there is to know about proteins. The aspiration may sound out of bounds in the current context, but why not atleast take the first step!
