-
(uncountable) A scientific discipline devoted to elucidating protein function in a native biological setting using small molecule chemical tools.
The work of Cravatt and his colleagues on the endocannabinoid system led to interest in the then-nascent field of chemical proteomics, a multidisciplinary science that aims to develop and apply chemical tools to annotate the functions of proteins like FAAH within their native biological environment.
