Dec 12, 2013 at 6:51 comment added biogirl @Cloud I think, by saying two levels of complexity , it means that proteins are not mere chains of amino acids they also have to have specific structure and interaction with other molecules.

Dec 12, 2013 at 1:56 comment added Remi.b aha. Here is the link to the wiki page for others. Ok, so I missed this point in my answer. The proteom is indeed greater than the genome due to alternative splicing and PTM. Let me try to improve my answer (but I am slowly affraid to go into details that I might not know very well..)
Dec 12, 2013 at 1:47 comment added Cloud This is according to the Wiki page regarding the proteome. Perhaps the following sentences will help: "The proteome has at least two levels of complexity lacking in the genome. While the genome is defined by the sequence of nucleotides, the proteome cannot be limited to the sum of the sequences of the proteins present. Knowledge of the proteome requires knowledge of (1) the structure of the proteins in the proteome and (2) the functional interaction between the proteins."
Dec 12, 2013 at 1:41 comment added Remi.b The word complexity is used with many different meanings. Here is another post that maybe interest you. Or the Wiki article I don't quite know what can be meant with this sentence: "the proteome has at least two [...]". I guess that indeed it is closely related to your question. I would suggest you to post it as another question and give a link to your article and maybe a small summary of the context in which this sentence come from.
Dec 12, 2013 at 1:27 comment added Cloud On a similar note: What is meant by the 'complexity' of the proteome? Why is it described "the proteome has at least two levels of complexity lacking in the genome"?
