Funding agencies move hesitantly to embrace novel approaches
Article Abstract:
Funding agencies have only recently started to look seriously at proteomics as a significant post-genomic approach to biological difficulties. The European Commission is now funding a proteomics programme to complement its genome sequencing programme, while the UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council has funded three centres to create transcriptomics and proteomics programmes in organisms with genomes that are sequenced, or near completion. Most pharmaceutical companies now have small proteomics programmes in-house.

A novel SOD mutant and ALS
Article Abstract:
The discovery of mutant SOD-1 gene encoding CuZn superoxide dismutase (SOD) in about 20% of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has helped progress the understanding of the disease mechanism. ALS is a fatal degenerative disease which causes death of large motor neurons and no effective cure exists for it. SOD-1 mutants possibly cause the disease either by gaining an adverse function or by losing enzyme function.
