Early proteomics methods used enzymes to digest proteins into pieces that could be easily analyzed by mass spectrometry. Those methods are now […] William Hancock for Northeastern Global News Northeastern professor leads an international effort to map the human proteome Northeastern professor leads an international effort to map the human proteome Chemistry professor William Hancock is a co-organizer of a major scientific undertaking: mapping the human proteome, one chromosome at a time.
