基因组和蛋白质组学与中医药研究

基因组学和蛋白质组学技术是当今世界发展最快和影响最深远的生物高新技术之一.利用基因组学和蛋白质组学技术筛查中药作用的靶标、鉴定中药新的有效成分、研究中医药作用机制,可以弥补传统方法的缺陷.为此,将基因组学和蛋白质组学的理论和研究方法应用于中医药研究,对开辟中医药研究新领域,加快传统中医药与现代生命科学技术的对接,推动中医药走向世界具有十分重要的意义.

Application of genomics and proteomics in study of traditional Chinese medicine

The technique of genomics and proteomics is one of the fastest developments with the farest-reaching consequences in the high and new biotechnology in the world of today. It can be used to screen the target molecules of the action of traditional Chinese medicines, to identify the new effective components from traditional Chinese medicines,and to explore the mechanisms of the effects of traditional Chinese medicines. It meets the shortcomings of the conventional methodology being applied in the current studies of traditional Chinese medicine. Application of the theories and technique of genomics and proteomics in the study of traditional Chinese medicine would be of great significance for opening new research field of traditional Chinese medicine, for facilitating the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and modern biological science and technology, and for promoting the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine.
