ANALYSIS of MICROBIAL PROTEOMES Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Aberdeen Introduction Current research in this laboratory, in the Department of Medical Microbiology, is directed towards the analysis of virus and bacterial protein synthesis using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE). The proteomes of a number of medically important human bacterial pathogens are actively under investigation. These include Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis. The data for these bacteria are presented at this site. Similar studies of Helicobacter pylori are also underway. In addition, 2D-PAGE is being used to investigate protein synthesis in picornavirus infected cells with a specific emphasis on determining the mechanism of persistent Coxsackie B virus infection. This includes the analysis of virus evolution during persistent infection in laboratory grown cell cultures. Summary of current research interests.
