Data Brief

Abundance of proteins in E. coli, colored by cellular function

Concentration of more than 2,300 proteins in E. coli bacteria grown in media containing glucose at 42°C. The most abundant protein in this dataset is TufA (also known as elongation factor Tu, or EF-Tu), which aids in protein synthesis.

All protein concentrations were measured using high-resolution mass spectrometry. Data does not include all membrane or ribosomal proteins, which are often difficult to extract and quantify. Hover over a dot to view more details.
