Electrospray (ESI) ionization mass spectrometry also plays in important role in bacterial characterization. Because it typically includes a chromatographic separation step, the approach is not considered as rapid as MALDI approaches, which do not incorporate a separation. However, compared to the times needed to grow bacteria in culture prior to analysis, the time frame is not lengthy, and the addition of chromatographic separation provides many opportunities to increase specificity. ESI/MS has been used to characterize cellular biomarkers for metabolic, genomic, and proteomics fingerprinting of bacteria, and these approaches are reported in two chapters. 

The statement that genomic analysis is sufficient for disease-related research has long been proven wrong. In contrast, the translation products, the proteins, are the exe-cuters of cell functions and are of major interest. The example of the caterpillar and the butterfly that have the same genotype, but a quite different phenotype, is often used to exemplify the need for proteomics. However, the study of proteins is complicated by a number of facts ... 

It is clear that in this brief overview of molecular biology, we have not covered a number of important areas that have an important impact on the study of metalloproteins. These include molecular cloning and recombinant DNA technology, which allow proteins to be over-expressed and individual amino acids to be mutated to any other of the 19 protein amino acids genome and proteome analysis that enables the sequences of all the genes of the entire organisms to be determined, and the quantification, localization, interactions and, where possible, activities and identification of all of the proteins in an organism,...

Unlike the genome the proteome is not a static but a dynamic and constantly changing entity that is cell- and tissue-specific and dependent on the environment. Because of the dynamic nature of protein expression and fimction, these properties need to be determined quantitatively in a time-dependent manner. Proteomics, the study of the proteome, involves the analysis of the complete pattern of the expressed proteins and their post-translational modifications in a cell, tissue, or body fluid. An integrated view of any living system hence requires an analysis that takes into account the spatial as well as temporal distribution of all the proteins in a cell or tissue. The analytical effort that is necessary to deliver such an integrated view is by several orders of magnitude more complicated than that of the recently finished human genome (Lander ef al. 2001 Venter et al. 2001).

The collecting, organizing, and indexing of sequence information into a database provides the scientist with a wealth of information on human genome and proteome. What makes this database so useful and powerful is its analysis, which may lead to information indicating that the sequence of DNA in question does not always constitute only one gene it may contain several genes.

The current situation in bioinformatics is characterized by an avalanche of DNA sequences from the human genome project and similar programs and, consequently, an exponential increase in DNA sequences but only a linear increase in protein 3D structures. While multitudes of putative genes have been annotated, up to 90% of all known DNA sequences have no assigned, i.e., experimentally proven, function. From this situation arise the need for interpretation of DNA sequences by information technology, and moreover, analysis of functional genomics and proteomics (see Chapter 15). 

Proteins being at the center of cellular metabolism and development, it is to be expected that they focus a lot of interest in food safety assessment. They actually could negatively impact on human or animal health if they comprise, for example, polypeptidic allergens, proteinaceous toxins, and antagonistic proteins such as special inhibitors. For all these compounds, genome analysis would not bring pertinent information contrary to an in-depth proteome investigation (73).
