I assume that your problem is due the long names in the column named
"protein". You can have org-table clip the columns to a more reasonable
length by adding a row that contains e.g. <20> in the column to clip. This
will clip the column to 20 characters. You can still edit the full column
contents by doing ~C-c `~.
Thus add the following new row in the beginning or the end of the table:
| | | <20> |
| |
move to <20> and press C-c C-c.
See: http://orgmode.org/manual/Column-width-and-alignment.html

Dov
