  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011479",
  "term": "Stress-protein fingerprinting",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A technique used to identify and quantify the specific pattern of stress protein expression in an organism or cell in response to particular environmental contaminants or stressors. This method provides a biochemical 'fingerprint' that can indicate exposure to certain toxicants and the organism's physiological response. It is often employed in ecotoxicology for biomonitoring.",
