Answer

A proteome refers to all the proteins produced by a cell, tissue, or organism at given defined conditions. A proteome can be analyzed by gel electrophoresis, which separates them based on size and charge. Mass spectrometry can be used to determine the mass of the proteins, since each protein has a distinguishable pattern of atomic masses.
