What is protein expression?

Posted February 20, 2024


Answer

Protein expression involves the synthesis, regulation, and modification of proteins within living organisms. It is the process of transcription and translation. In the context of protein research, protein synthesis refers to either the subject of study or the laboratory methods used to produce proteins. Additionally, protein expression allows researchers to have enzymes or substrates that are necessary for further analysis.
