S.Prasanth Kumar is a bioinformatician who studies proteomics, 2D-PAGE, and proteome databases. Proteomics involves the study of proteins expressed by a genome through analysis of protein sequences, structures, modifications, and interactions. Major databases include Swiss-Prot, which contains annotated protein sequences, and TrEMBL, which contains automatically generated sequences. Other databases contain information on protein families and domains, nucleotide sequences, 2D-PAGE gel images, and post-translational modifications.
